Soon Otto his friend Juliet and her cat Cornelius find themselves being whisked away into a dangerously weird world where anything is possible.

The Diary Of Anne Frank

The Diary Of Anne Frank

By Anne Frank

The Diary Of Anne Frank is a stunning diary that tells a real life story of a young girl… Anne Frank. At the young age of 13 in 1942 Anne Frank’s life changes forever as her family flee to the Secret Annexe in the back of the Amsterdam Warehouse in the horrors of being found by the Nazis. Go through life with Anne as she thoroughly describes the goods and bads of living through the war.

I recommend this book to everyone. I thought that this book was a really good book although it took me ages to read because books about war aren't really my thing. It was a really cool book but just not really the type of book for me.

Aim of the game: To get the least points.

Rules:

1. Stay on your bottom at all times or you will be disqualified.
2. Don’t let any balls into your quarter (Throw them out as soon as they come in)
3. If there are 3 balls or more in your square at once then you will gain a point.
4. The quarter with the least points wins.
5. Throw the balls into the other teams square.

Game Adaptations

Use your creative thinking to explore possible adaptations to this game to enhance both the fun factor and the ability to win the game. I have given you one example for each category but challenge yourself with other ideas and thinking.

Attack	Defence	Game Plan/Strategy
Use balls other than netballs that aren’t as heavy so the speed of the travelling ball also speeds up the game. Have more balls so that the  game is faster.	4 players from each quad are allowed to sit on the bleaches to stretch with their arms and intercept flying balls. Always be ready	People on the perimeter of the quad pass the ball to someone closer to the bleaches to allow them to throw it further into the opponent's area. Throw it far so that they have to bum shuffle to get it. That way you have more time to get more in.

Of Giants And Ice Book Review

Of Giants And Ice

By Selby Bach

Of Giants And Ice is a very magical book. It is mostly about fairy tales coming true at the ever after school program. Characters (students at the ever after school program) come from all over the world. They come through magical portals that take them to the courtyard of the ever after program. Rory the main character in this series is new to this after school program and she does not yet know it but she is the author of an unwritten tale. Unwritten tales are very rare and special. Only one other person has ever gotten one… the Snow Queen. The most dangerous monster in the whole world. While Rory is on a tale with her friend Lena as the one and only jack and the beanstalk the Snow Queen is planning a new plot to destroy all the Characters. Will Rory and her friends be able to figure out this mystery in time to save the Characters?

I loved this book it drew me in so much that I just wanted to keep reading it.

I recommend this book the Girls and Boys of my age who like fairy tales and a bit of fighting monsters.(it’s not scary)

Top Outdoor Spot Comp

Top Spot Competition

By Isabella Turei

The gully wich backs onto our house is a marvelous place. You can climb trees, walk on tracks, play games and make huts. It is a great place to be. The calling of birds, the dogs barking, childrens excited scream as they swoop down the slide on the playground nearby. You can see bush, grass and trees… lots of trees. You can spot the birds soaring through the greenery as they play tag. I play hide and seek tag with my friends down the gully and sometimes we take the dogs to. When it’s wet and raining we can walk through the water with gumboots. We have to be careful not to trip up. Its magical.

Isabella’s Where I’m From Poetry

I am from

bike rides in the forest

and skiing down mountains

from walking all the places that my feet would take me

I am from

camping in the campa trailer and gardening with mum

from reading on my bed, book after book

from a house that is a calm safe place

I am from

throwing netball's back and forth doing drills before the game

from diving into freezing cold water ready for my lesson

and from whacking tennis balls all over the court

I am from

uno and bluff

from the game of life

I am from beginning and end
