Book review I Funny

I Funny

By James Patterson

Illustrated by Chris Grabenstein

The main characters are Jamie Grimm his Mum, Dad, Brother and Friends.

It's set in a small town in America.

The book is about a boy in a wheelchair who wants to compete in a comedy contest. Does he win? Read to find out.

I think it was a entertain book that helped the reader to see the Jamie's view and emotions.

Jamie is a 12 year old boy who is kind but sometimes overlooks others feelings. He has had a tough life with his parents having been killed in a car accident and leaving him in a wheel chair. On his way to the contest he tries to find funny jokes. However while presenting these he makes fun of his family and friends.

It is a comedy, nonfiction written in the first person.
  The illustrations are detailed and help you depict the story and what the characters look like.

James Patterson is an American who has written many children's book including the "Middle School" series and "Maximum Ride".

Camp Hanmer

Hanmer Springs Camp

This week from Monday to Wednesday my class went on camp to Hanmer Springs. We were sorted into car groups, activity groups and cabin groups. When we got there the first activity for my activity group was biking. We got given bikes and helmets to use. Then we were biking I found the biking slightly hard but keeping up with the front group was quite hard but I managed to. My favourite part of it was when we went around the pump track where you are meant to not peddle. After biking the class went to the hot pools. I found that the hottest pools are really nice to be in after biking.
On Tuesday the first activity was orienteering. I found this great fun we walked around the pine forest to find markers with numbers on if we got the most point we would win. My group got lots of points but we lost by 10 points but I still really enjoyed this. The second activity was too walk up Conical Hill. At the top there was a amazing view and a little look out looking out over Hanmer. Most of my group ran down the hill. When we were at the bottom we had to wait for ages for the adults to catch up. Then we went to the lolly shop. I got 2 Red paint brushes 2 extreme and a bag of gold nuggets bubble gum.
The third activity was to go tree climbing. We go told how to bele each other when we whe climbing so we would be safe. The tree was easy to climb and in the end we had a competition to get to the top fastest. Callum went first and he got a record of 15 seconds. I went second and got a record of 12 seconds and Emil went third and he got a record of 9 seconds.
On Wednesday we walked to the cemetery and filled out a question sheet on the people who had died. After that we walked around the statue walk witch I found amazing. There was a Dog, a Eagle, a Possum, a Giant and a group of mushrooms.
My favourite thing we did was maybe seeing the Eagle statue.

My pets

My pets 

I have 2 dogs and 1 cat the dogs names are Waggy and Bullet Wag is way older that bullet and is a huntaway. Bullet is a border collie that is very energetic. They are both farm dogs and bullet has an addiction to exhaust pipes. When he is out on the farm he is very had to control and doesn't seem to listen. Wag is very easy to control and bullet should be more like wag and come when he is called. Boo the cat is very forgetful and will sometime forget that there is food in her bowl and she loves food. Wag is terrified of her and bullet likes to chase her around the house. I didn't name her that because we got her from the spca.

The Brunner mine 

Last week we went to the brunner mine because we are reading the Mines Afire. We have been learning about mining and after the mine visit we have made a slide with 5 facts about the brunner mine. Here it is. 

X Men Apocalypse

X Men Apocalypse 
I thought this movie was incredible. The movie is rated M so I would rate it from 11+. It's a movie about a group of super heroes called the X Men. This is the 3rd in the series. The main characters are a group of mutants with various extraordinary powers. They try to stop a god named Apocalypse. It has an epic fight scene at the end. At the beginning of the movie you don't really know the characters, but you soon get to know more about them. My favourite character in this movie is Nightcrawler who is a mutant with the ability to teleport anywhere that he can see in his mind.  The genre of the movie is action and fantasy. This Marvel movie is very different to the Avengers because the characters seem more human and real. You don't need to watch the others in the series but you understand it better is you have seen the previous movies. The stories are based of comics.

Book Review

Book Review

This week I have decided to write a book review about a book I like. So I decided to write it about Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse. 
Its a book about Greek Mythology and Greek Gods. It is the 3 in its series. The main character is a Son of Poseidon (god of the sea) named Percy Jackson. Some of Persys friends get given a quest to save Artemis (the goddess of the hunt) and he decides that he wants to go to. He secretly follows the team on a pegasy (a winged horse) named Black Jack. I think this a fantastic book and if you read it you will learn a little about the gods too. I think that if you like mythology, stories or legends that you will love this .
