    I found this book very emotional. It was very sad, it was also adventurous. I would recommend this book for ages 8 yrs ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/5

  3. I have finished reading "What Are YOU Doing" which is a Bug Club book. I enjoyed this book as it had humorous and informal language, similar to the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid series. I rate this book 5/5 stars.

  5. The School For Good and Evil
    By Soman Chainani

    One of my all time favourite books is defenitely 'The School for Good and Evil'! It s set in the past although the characters are still some-what reltable and they appeal to a reader of about ten to thirteen. The story is described beautifully and the plot is exciting and gets to the point quickly. It is such an original idea behind the story and I defenitley reccomend it!
    I rate this book 5 stars.

  6. Would love to see you haka video Room 5. At Horotiu (pronounced Horror-chew) we go to kapa haka on Fridays and we learn haka (boys) and poi (girls).
    Good luck with your travel expo - we hope it goes well. We'd love to communicate with you. We are 29 kids aged 9-10 going on 11 this year.
