Books I have read!!!

This blog post is about my favourite picture book I read when I was young and my favourite book I have read this year. I will explain a bit about each book and add a picture of the books. I will also say who my favourite author is and if I would recommend this book to any one.

The first book is my favourite picture book from when I was young which was and is still a good book to read is 'After the War'. It is written by Bob Kerr. This book is about a family who plant an apple tree in their garden when the father comes back from war. It goes through the years showing what happens to the city and how every thing changes every different page. It shows civilization changing and how the worlds technology is changing. It pretty much shows a time lapse of their town and how their farm slowing changes and people get older and new people enter the earth.I like this book because it has really good illustrations and the wording is very deep and meaningful. This book also shows how quickly things can change in the world.

My favourite book I have read this year would be 'The road to Winter' written by Mark Smith and William Smith. This book is about a boy Finn who tries to survive a disease that has whipped out his whole family and all his friends. One day he is out surfing when his dog, Rowdy, starts yelping its lungs out. Finn runs to the shore to find something that could change his life and something that will completely blow his mind. I liked this book because it had really cool adventures in it, the book was quite gory and there were so many nail biting moments. I would recommended this book to people who like gruesome books and like adventures book probably 13-15 year old.

I don't really have a favourite author because most of the books I read are really good and the authors are really good as well.

Production!!!

Last week we performed our 

production in front of many people. Our production was Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies. I will be talking about what I enjoyed the most about my role, what was my highlight, the funniest moment and what I wish I had done differently.

What I enjoyed the most with my role was doing two different voices because I was Little John/ Big John. I also enjoyed saying a joke then listening to the audience crack up. 

My highlight of the whole production would of been working with everybody else and listening to their ideas. Also watching people acting.

The funniest moment was when Iraklis fell of his chair on stage which just added to the comedy of the production. Also listening to certain jokes said by people.

Something different I could've done would of been doing have actions. But some of the lines I said were quite odd if I was going to do hand actions.

That is my blog post for this week see you soon for another.

First Blog Post for Term 4 - Quotes

This guy knows his stuff

Before we get into things I would like to say sorry for not blogging anything because it was school holidays for 2 weeks. But now it is over (sad face) so it is time to do work. Also soz about the highlight thing I couldn't get rid of it.

This blog post will be about a famous quote that was said in a speech performed by a famous person. I will be discussing who said it and why it appeals to me. 

This is the quote:
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

The man who said this was Martin Luther King Jr. He mentioned this quote in his speech 'I have a Dream'. This quote stood out for me because it was very creative and sounds as though he took time and effort make this quote. This quote means you cannot defeated or get rid of something by using the same thing, you have too use something else in the same way or in a different way.

That is my blog post for this week. Come back soon for another:)
