BOOK WEEK: Making my costume

My character for Book Week is Madeline. I have three Madeline books. 

I have started making my costume. We bought a sunhat from Whitianga. When I got home I painted it yellow. I have done two coats of paint so that it will look like Madelines real hat.

I got a white collar from my Nanny and Poppa. It was from my great great grandma. 

Mum found me some big white gloves and a blue dress to wear. 

We had to make a Cape so we started to sew. Mum helped me to make my Cape. 

Tomorrow it is book week parade. I am so excited about it. 

I have a big secret about book week. It is that someone is going to Book Week as Miss Clavel. Miss Clavel is Madelines teacher in the books. 

I practiced walking like Madeline with my hands behind my back.
