(The following are snippets taken during the creation of our TKAMB blog on our last day of lesson)

*Nurulhuda just sniffed*

*Simone said "Wow"*

*Nurul is beside me and she is trying to explain a mockingbird to me*

*Shuo Feng says "It's my bedtime teddy bear book."*

*Eunice said "huh"*

*Nurul says "I don't think they read you know?"*

*Shahidin says "say what?"*

*Faiz says "A difficult book to read"*

*Nurul laughed*

*James complimented "I enjoyed the book and it made me more aware of prejudice in the world!"*

*Jasmine says "huh?" with a sweet smile*

*Edmund says "Errrrr....learning discrimination lets us know what happened in the past"*

*Lynn giggled "Peisze is the bluejay and I'm the mockingbird in the book"*

*Peisze says something that is irrelevant so I'm not including it here.*

Right my dear princes and princesses, welcome to the world of To Kill A Mockingbird".
