"3D from Bankstown Public School want to say a BIG thank you ... they hope that you like their poem that you inspired them to write."
Aleesah loves animals
Like the baby
Echidna called a puggle which hatches from an egg
Spines haven't grown yet on Pip
And he seeks friends to help
He learns to be patient in the end
"We certainly found your VC session engaging. Congratulations on your interactive presentation. We really enjoyed it. Thank you for the Puggle Pack."
"The students learnt a lot from the video conference... They were very excited and spent some time discussing what they learnt and changes they will make to what they have already planned. From my point of view, it was certainly inspirational and provided great information. We will have to see how their picture books develop from here."
"Your Puggle's Problem VC was the best of many I've viewed. Our Year 1 classes loved it."
