The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is about a china rabbit called Edward Tulane who belongs to a ten yeard old girl called Abilene. Edward is a very vain rabbit who is very up himself. He has a whole wardrobe of silk clothes and gold pocket watches. When the Tulane family are leaving their home and moving Abilene's grandmother reads them a story about a princess who never loved just like Edward. When the Tulane family is on board the boat two boys take Edward and throw him overboard. While Edward was sinking to the bottom of the sea he has time to think about what sort of life he has lived, and that he has never loved anyone. Through Edward's journey he learns to love and hate and meets a variety of people including; a sailors wife, a hobo, and he has a variety of different jobs including; puppet scarecrow and many others. During his journey of around seven years he learnt one important lesson it is better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all. Edward Tulane is a wonderful book about love and loss and out of all I would rate it a seven out of ten.

The Boy Who Lost His Face - book review

The Boy Who Lost His Face is written by Louis Sachar. This book is about David Ballinger's life. It starts off when David is trying to impress the cool kids by helping to steal an old woman’s cane. when the boys took the cane David flipped the old lady off and she put a curse on him "Your Doppelganger will regurgitate on your soul!” David first thought this was nothing but when he was going through his everyday life everything that the boys did to the old lady started happening to him. When David asks for her too take the curse off him she demands her cane back. If you want too know what happened in the rest of the book you have too read the book. Overall I would rate this book a six out of ten. It wasn't as good as previous Louis Sachar books I've read but I would recommend it for people who like reading chapter books that aren't to long.

Sam Fox gets trapped in the jungle with a giant Anaconda in the river, and a giant Man eating beast! Will he escape? Well you're going to have to read the book to find out. Poachers, Anacondas, tribes, and of course...The man eater. This is a very interesting book and trust me, you will NOT get bored of it! This book can be read by any old average reader.

While you are reading the book you follow the story of Stephanie Edgley as she learns that there is another world inside her own.

Stephanie finds out about Skulduggery the dead Skeleton detective and becomes his partner to held find the sceptre of the ancients and stop Skulduggery's arch enemy Nefarian Serpine and save her world from the magical gods the Faceless Ones. Skulduggery Pleasant is a funny, horror, Sci - Fi. Abook that just wants you to keep reading. I suggest this book for advanced readers who enjoy a good book. I would rate it a seven out of ten and say I can't wait to read the next one.

KPS run, jump, throw build up.

The Senior Syndicate Had sports on Friday. Instead of the usual dodge ball that we play every Friday, we tried something new. Athletics!
My class (room 12) had to do sprint running. We started with a warm up, we had to jog up to the first cone (roughly 10 meters away) then walk back and line up again. Then we started to do some different sprints.
Room 11 had to do high jump and room 13 had to do discus throwing. All the classes are going to rotate events this week on friday. The reason we are doing all of these events is to see who is the best in your gender and age group. The best people in your age group and gender will continue to the run jump throw interschool competition. This competition is between roughly 6 schools competing in long jump, high jump, shot put, discus throwing, 400m, 100m, vortex (sometimes), and then at the end each school gets their fastest runners and they have a relay race. We get a day off school for this event. =^]
