The last week before Half term Class 5 – nearly there! You
have worked extremely hard and deserve a rest but we have a busy week before us
first.
Your teams have started to plan and design your invention
that will ensure an enhanced New Zealand Experience this week. You now only
have 3 weeks to complete your prototype and create a delicious New Zealand dish
for the judges too.
We have a grammar week in Literacy, you have remembered many
rules so far, a few more to go and you will be experts. We will be continuing
our guitar tuition, High 5 netball skills, becoming adept at calculating the
probability of challenges in maths (Thinking Things Through) and organising our
groups to create a professional pitch to travel agents for our theme
competition.
Well done in scoring
as many goals as you could to raise money for NSPCC goal challenge during your
outdoor P.E. session last week - very impressive.

I have just read the book The Time Travelling Cat and The Egyptian Godess and the book was okay the author could of used better words as it was a bit easy a boring. I was enjoying the book until the author did not say what happened to all of the other cats! I would rate the book 3/5.
ReplyDeleteCharlie
Maybe the author will be told and write a sequel to let everyone know Charlie.
DeleteDr Who( Bug club book) was a really interesting book which was like reading a comic strip except the picture squares were photos and not cartoons. There were two stories to read. It could have had more punctuation and more words.
ReplyDeleteI quite enjoyed it but prefer a 'proper' book. My rate is 5/10.
Belle
Light reading for fun but I'm pleased you would prefer more words Belle.
DeleteCinderella, the True Story.
ReplyDeleteRecently I have read Cinderella, the true story on Bug Club. I enjoyed this book and thought it was an intersesg twist to the classic tal of beautiful Cinderella marrying Prince Charming! I also like that the story ws told within letters, emails and text messages although I think some of the words could be uplevelled!
I rte this book 3/5 stars.
You are sounding like me now! Well done!
DeleteI have finished reading Russian Roulette which is not a Bug Club book. This book is a book from the Alex Rider series that is about the life story of the bad guy (Yassen Gregorovich). My favourite part is when he has to survive with his friend. I rate this book 5/5 stars.
ReplyDeleteBrandon
Your review makes me want to read this too. Great comments.
DeleteI have finished reading Island Bound which is a Bug Club book. This book is about a girl called Hannah who has moved to Toronto, Canada. My favourite part is when Hannah sees the ghost of a woman called Martha Cox. I rate this book 4.5/5 stars.
ReplyDeleteBrandon
A lovely amount of reading Brandon!
DeleteI have finished the book How to be a detective and I found it quite boring really. The book was just saying what they do but the "make it your self" are quite cool. I would recommend it to any one who wants to be a detective of police man/women. I would rate it 2/5 stars.
ReplyDeleteCharlie
So a career in the police doesn't take your fancy then? Shame it was boring.
DeleteI just wanted to say what a pleasure it was to work with you yesterday. I was very impressed with your attitude and the work in books was of a really high standard. Well done, keep up the great work Year 6!
ReplyDeletebug club i liket the paret wen beathe eater toled a joke that i liket but nowone else did by robyn
ReplyDeleteWhat was the joke Robyn?
DeleteYes! I have just completed the book Jungles At Risk and it was great! All about animals and the life of the Amazon. Did you know that the poison dart frog is the most poisonest animal in the world? I would recommend it to any animal lovers or fact lovers! I would rate it 4/5 stars.
ReplyDeleteCharlie
Good to read that you liked this book, lots of lovely reading Charlie, well done!
DeleteJust read Kaspar Prince of Cats by Michael Morpurgo, recommended by Ellie and Amelie. Combined insight into the lives of an opera singer, bell boy and the sinking of Titanic, a great book, not quite up there with War Horse but a good read. Now looking forward to reading the new Pegasus book by Kate O'Hearn, recommended by Elizabeth. More recommendations please.
ReplyDeleteDeputy Head Award for enthusiasm and great reading Mrs Martin!
DeleteI have just finished Icefire by Chris d 'Lacey in the Last Dragon Chronicles and its one of the best books I have ever read along with first book in the series. Its all about when clay dragons are brought to life by a fire tear and the whole book is mixed with sadness, love and suspense. I couldn't put it down! I rate this book 9 and a half out of 10 and also recommend it to other readers.
ReplyDeleteEllie
I'm intrigued, I have a list of books to read now! Fantastic review Ellie!
DeleteI have read the book Why is a Roller-coaster so fun? The answer is because the sped of the ride, friction and motion are causing the ride to go zooming up and down, around and round. I would rate it 5/10 stars.
ReplyDeleteCharlie
Fascinating - you have learnt quite a bit of physics too! I'm really impressed with all of your reviews Charlie, well done.
DeleteI have just read the book How Do They Make Wallace and Gromic. I found the book quite interesting, and I would rate it 4/5 stars.
ReplyDeleteCharlie
I have just finished reading 'How To Persuade a Grumpy Goddess'. I really enjoyed it because it had lots of old fashioned wording and it was a playsctipt which i really enjoy.
ReplyDeleteOverall i would rate this book 4/5 stars.
Ella
This is nice to know. Play scripts are thoroughly enjoyable.
DeleteWhat Are You Doing?
ReplyDeleteI have just finished reading the book 'What Are You Doing' on BugClub. Although some of the words and puncutation could be uplevelled I liked the story and think it was a good book if your looking for an entertaining, quick read.
I rate this book a 6/10.
Elizabeth
I'm glad it was enjoyable as a quick read, these are great when you don't want to tackle a longer tale.
