The elementary students participated in a successful launch of the book, The Last of the Great Whangdoodles. Mrs. Stott and Ms. Gillatt sat in a cardboard boat and told some jokes to the group. The jokes weren't very funny, so students were asked to tell theirÌýjokes to see if they could make everyone laugh. They did and, miraculously, the boat moved. Students were then told it is a jolly boat and it will only move when people are laughing. It is one of the special items they will learn about in the book.
The students were then divided into groups of three to make a picture of what they thought a Whangdoodle would look like. One student drew the head, then one drew the body and finally the third student drew the feet. Each body part was hidden and then opened up to see what their co-operative creature looked like. Students spent some time colouring their creations and then the books were distributed.
