Double Down

Double Down 
Author - Jeff Kinney 
Rating - 4 and a half stars out of 5
Double down is one of the diary of a wimpy kid series. It is a good book. The main characters are Gregg, Rowley, Greg's mum, dad and brothers.
My favorite part in the book is when he get lots of candy but his pig eats it all and the pig gets sick and he gets told of. I recommend it to people that like reading books with funny thing in it. 

Bonus reflection

Here is my bonus reflection I am quite happy with it. 

Numeracy reflection

For numeracy we got to choose an activity. I chose code cracker. Code crack is an activity to try to find a word that equals 100. It was hard see if you can do it.

Literacy reflection

This week for literacy we chose an activity. My activity was to write Christmas codes.  I enjoyed it and I thought it would be cool to write things about Christmas. See if you can guess mine Or make some up yourself.

Board game, thinking

When my friend came round we wanted to play risk with him. It is also is a main star and it fits under thinking. I enjoyed the game but we didn't finish it because it takes a very long time.

Christmas card, relating to others

For a main star I chose to do a Christmas card. I painted reindeer's to put on the card. I chose to to give it to my nana. I I painted the reindeer's using finger prints and pen.

Battle scene, Thinking

For a main star I thought it would be good to make a battle scene and it fits under thinking. I got these army men for my birthday and I made a scene with my brothers and sisters. 

Preparing breakfast, Participating and contributing

This term a couple of times I have made pancakes for the family. My favorite part is flipping the pancake.This is a main star and it fits under participating and contributing.

Garden, Managing self

This term I've been watering the mini gardens and mums flowers. This is a main star and it fits under managing self. 

My photos, thinking

For one main star I thought it would be a good Idea to take some pictures on the way back from castle hill. Here are a couple.

Red cross concert. participating and contributing.

For a main star we thought that doing a red cross concert would be a good Idea. The purpose is for my music school to play to raise money for the Kaikoura damage done by the earthquake. That fits under participating and contributing.

Beginners guide to rugby

The beginners guide to rugby is written by All Blacks and Chiefs player named Aaron Cruden. His position is a first five. I like the beginners guide to rugby because  he gives you some tips about Kicking, tackling and passing. One of his tips is to hold the ball and lower it for a drop kick. I recommend it to people that are into rugby or even better play rugby and there position is first five. 
Rating- 5 out of 5.

This week for literacy we did some Christmas activities. There were two to choose from one was a activity where you have to write if you would be on Santa's naughty or nice list and you had to say why. The other one was to make a Christmas tree song. In the end I had enough time to do both. Here are mine.

Charlie and the chocolate factory

Charlie and the chocolate factory

Author - Roald Dahl 

Genre - Fantasy

Rating - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

Charlie and the chocolate factory is about a boy named Charlie who lives with two sets of grand parents and his mum and his dad. He is very poor and finds it hard to get food. One day in the gutter he found a coin and the first thing that came to mind was to ge chocolate. So he bought to bars of chocolate and one had the last golden ticket in side. From that moment on his life changed there was no longer that empty feeling in his a tummy.  

Read the book to get more information.

Richie McCaw 148

The Richie McCaw book is a rugby based book about his tests that he played. He played 148 tests for NZ and he captained 110 of them. Both of them are rugby records. In the book it sometimes has one of his quotes from the game like "the world cup is just around the corner that is to remain my focus." I like that book because my favorite sport is rugby and because I like hearing what it's like to be in the All Blacks. I recommend this to people that are in To rugby or people that want to know a bit about Richie McCaw's career.

We tried to do an acrostic poem about a mythical creature. I found doing this fun but also quite hard because some letters were not easy. 

Reading 

W.A.L.T Know what the Author purpose is.

This week for reading we had to make up 3 articles under entertain, persuade and inform. I like doing this because you could write about the All blacks for inform.

Wonder

Wonder is a book that is written by R.J Palacio. It is about a boy named August that is facially deformed. August has been home schooled all his life because his parents thought his appearance was too much for other people and they might also be cruel to August. But they finally decide to send him to middle school when he is about 11. The principal (Mr Tushman) organizes a few people to help August get use to his new school.  Most of them struggle to adjust to August's face, but some get used to it and become his friend.  The purpose of this book is to show that you shouldn't judge a boy by what he looks like. 

Friday tests

This week from the word work box I chose Vowel circle wich means that you write your spelling words and then you show wich ones are vowels.
