          Diary of a Rugby champ

                   Shaminni Flint

Diary of a rugby champ is a book about a boy called Marcus Atkinson. His dad has a dream of Marcus being a really good sportsman, but unfortunately for Marcus he is definitely not naturally sporty.  His Dad signs him up for the rugby team believing that Marcus needs a little practise to get better.  Marcus does not want to play.  This is disastrous and hilarious, which makes this book pretty enjoyable.  I especially enjoyed the pictures, but was a pretty easy read.  I rate this book ****/*****

                    Ratburger

            Author: David Walliams

Ratburger is about a girl (Zoe) with a love for animals. She has a dream of one day becoming world famous by teaching her pets amazing tricks. Zoe has a few obstacles though, namely her nasty step mum (Shelia) who hates rodents and all other kinds of animals. Zoe is an only child, who has had a really nice relationship with her Dad, until something unforeseen happens to change Zoe's life.  This is a story about how Zoe overcomes many obstacles to achieve her goals.  I really enjoyed this book because I thought it was very imaginative and original, with a good message.  

I recommend this book for 9-12 year olds who like books about imaginative characters with real life problems.  I rate this book ****/*****

First week back term 2 week 1

Welcome back to term 2. We have have a new teacher called mrs reissmann. Mrs reissmann set us a task that we had to write all the things about plastic that we know here is my work with katelin and Ruby.

Plastic

• It burns easily.
• It is not good for the environment.
• You can make things out of it like polo fleeces. And Other staff

Honor

I think that plastic is a bad thing that has been invented because it kills the environment and it is not good for animals like Fish and land animals.

Ruby

I think that Plastic is bad because you don’t need to use plastic even for shopping bags because you can use recyclable bags.

Katelin

I think that plastic is bad for our environment because it is killing our sea life and Other animals.
