Title: The World’s Worst Children 2

Author: David Walliams

Opinion: The one thing that made this book stand out is how every child didn’t have a happy ending, and that shows that when you misbehave, there is also consequences you have to face, so if you obey your parents and teachers then there will not be any consequences and you will live happily ever after.

Recommendation: I recommend this book to all, as it does have pictures, but some of the vocabulary used is quite mature. I really recommend this book to people who love David Walliams because this is my favourite book  of his. The story about  every child hooks you straight away, something exciting always happens and you just want to read more and more.

Blurb: This book is about 10 children that are HORRIBLE! I like how every chapter is a new child.

One of the children is called Competitive Colin. Colin was so determined to win everything he had to cheat. Like when he would be sack racing at the school fair, he would put a mini motorcycle at the bottom of the sack, and when the start whistle would go he would zoom past everyone else. Also when him and his friends would be playing musical statues and right before the start he would dip himself in cement, the only bad thing about this was he would have to get himself out of it afterwards with a sledgehammer.

One day Colin was lucky enough to get on Tv for all his fake amazing wins. Soon the head of the British Olympic team phoned Colin and asked him to join the 100m sprint for Britain. Of course Colin said ‘yes!’ He just needed to come up with an amazing plan to beat everyone else.

Rocket sneakers, this was the perfect idea in Colin’s mind. When it came to the racing day Colin was ready.

‘On your marks’ said the race starter. Colin switch on one rocket, ‘get set’, Colin switched on the other rocket as soon as he said…….’GOOOOO’, but it was going everywhere, suddenly he had already hit all the racers except for Ike from Jamaica, who was winning. Unexpectedly Colin started shooting upwards. But what goes up has to come down, ‘crash!’ Colin knocked Ike right of his feet and past the finish line first. Of course Colin won the race, he actually got gold, silver and bronze because no-one else finished the race.

Colin lived the rest of his life in his room as he could not leave the house without getting something, or someone thrown at him in anger.

Today we had our weekly 'Make it' session, as I was waiting for my soap carving gear, I decided to do some weaving. This is a picture of my flax flower, this was very fun to make, and I suggest you try it!

Title: Anne Frank: A diary of a young girl

Author: Written by Anne Frank, edited by Otto H. Frank

Opinion: I like this book because it tells people that just because people may be a different colour or religion, that doesn’t mean that they should be treated differently. This is very useful and for people you do feel like this it could change their lives.

Recommendation: I recommend this to older age groups because the language would be a big, big challenge to younger kids, I also recommend this to people that like reading about war and historical things because this is what this story is about.

Blurb: This is a real diary about a young girl, this story starts on Anne’s 13th birthday (12 June 1942) when she receives a  diary from her parents.

To start the story Anne talks about her personal life, and mentions her friends and all about them, still talking about her personal life she explains information about her school, she also writes all the ups and downs she goes through in her youth.

Soon this diary gives information about the life of her family who live in Frankfurt, Germany and have to go hide because of Hitler and the Nazi Party’s treatment of Jews in Europe during the second world war.

Later on in the story they escape and head to Amsterdam where they go hide along with another family, the Van Daans, they stay unseen avoid being captured.

Unfortunately, the story ends suddenly on 1 August 1944.

Report Writing

Who invented the first curved hockey stick?

Have you ever wondered how the curved hockey stick became a big thing? Well, this how. The curved hockey stick was in fact not invented, it was discovered accidentally by Stan Mikita of the Chicago Blackhawks back in the 1960's. It was Stan, who accidentally caught his stick blade in one of the doors in the boards, cracking and bending it, but not breaking it all the way off, this created the perfect curve to hit a ball!!

The First Hockey Stick                                                                                                         The very first curved hockey stick was made out traditional wood, now some hockey sticks are made out of fibreglass. Some sticks even have a bit of both, those sticks have the head (the curved part) wood so that the expensive fibreglass wouldn't get chipped and scratched, and then the rest above the head and all the way to the top of the grip is fibreglass, which makes it lighter for the player. Most hockey players like fibreglass, like myself.

The innovation of the curved hockey sticks                                                                          These are just some of the different shapes and sizes the curved hockey sticks have, the head itself comes in many different and amazing shapes.  Stan Mikita and others have worked hard the carve different shapes they have designed to create useful shapes that will make it lighter and better for the players to shoot, tackle, pass and many other things. The ‘Toe Curve’ is the best shape and has the most advantages for skills and strength.

Hockey Sticks we have now

Fortunately, present hockey sticks now have brands on them that represent who designed the hockey stick, brands usually sit midway through the stick and the rest of the stick is painted to suit the brand,  and instead of just wood people have fibreglass that has been painted to suit gender as well. This makes it look way more effective and makes a  hard decision for kids.

My Opinion

Personally, I think that it is absolutely extraordinary that they curved hockey stick was discovered because that means that new sports equipment could still be yet discovered. I can’t wait to see what happens in the future!!!
