Book review

Title: Four children and IT.

Author: Jacqueline Wilson

Opinion: I liked this story because you just get captured in the book and don't want to put it down, you just want to find out what will happen next.

Recommendation: I would recommend it to people who like adventure and magic. Well, you might have to like fantasy, which I don't really like, but I still liked this book.

Blurb: This book starts off with the main character, Rosalind, reading a book called Five Children and It. But her really annoying step-sister, Smash, hates reading and teases Rosalind about it. One day, though, when the family (Step-mum, Dad, Smash, Rosalind, Maudie and Robbie) take a picnic in Oxshott woods, they find something much unexpected …

The 'It' from Five Children and It! ‘It’ is actually a sand fairy. A sand fairy doesn't have wings like normal fairies. ‘It’ is plump, golden brown, a bit moody and has two stalks coming out of his head with eyes on top, and he can grant wishes.

Rosalind's family and It go on amazing adventures together, and manage to actually become more a family than they were before!

Ghosts- Inquiry

For inquiry this term we have been looking at a phenomenon. For mine, I chose to look further into ghosts and chose a theory that I believe is the truth.

Book review

Title: Running Wild

Author: Michael Morpurgo

Opinion: I really like this author and his books, but this book I didn’t enjoy as much because there was a lot of information that wasn’t needed and it got a little boring. It was still quite interesting because I like reading about people in the bush all by themselves and they have to try and survive.

Recommendation: I recommend this book to everyone, especially people who like animals because this book is all about animals and how they live in the jungle.

Blurb: This book is about a boy called Will, who is 9 years old. Will's father, who was a soldier died at war. Will and his mother were very sad and they decided to go on holiday in Indonesia to get away from everything like school and work. When the went down to the beach one morning Will was lucky enough to go on an elephant ride. Oona, the elephant was acting a bit crazy around the beach, when Will looked out at all the swimmers to find his mum and wave she was not there. Before Will knew it Oona raced off towards the jungle. As Oona was sprinting through the tall trees, Will looked back and spotted a huge tsunami rush through the sand and at that moment he knew his mum was gone. After a few nights in the jungle, Oona and Will became great friends, especially because they found a gigantic vege patch in the middle of nowhere where they could eat as much as they wanted together. Will learns to live in the jungle so he survives, but then one day a nasty evil man named Mr Anthony decides to burns down the jungle and plant palm oil trees so he can make a lot of money. Will gets captured but he makes a human friend on the way. His peculiar friend helps him hide up in the trees. Will also starts to use the way orangutans move and never touch the forest floor in case of danger.

If you want to know what happens to Will, Oona and the jungle read the book and find out!

Inquiry Reflection

Laughter because sometimes things in class are funny. Boredom because most things we learnt about I didn't enjoy. Fear, because we learn about stuff that I don't want to happen to me in the future.

One point perspective

In room 12 we are learning to create a piece of art using one point perspective techniques. Here is my art piece.

New School Values

The new school values are respect, integrity, kindness and resilience. We have been exploring these concepts in class- here is the quote I chose because I believe that you learn from your mistakes and you should never give up.
