THINK

I think the aboriginal people are trying to hunt the emus down for dinner.

 

WONDER

How many animals would they need to hunt for the tribes dinner.

My Avatar

I chose this avatar because I have Hazel eyes and now, after the great shave I now have 

short hair. I have squinty eyes and a decent size mouth that’s always talking. I love exercise so I wear a tank tops because I get hot. i’m always on my trampoline and jumping around so I don’t like to wear long sleeves.

Library reflection- term 1

I like action books because they keep me hooked in. This is because they have lots of things happening at the same time.  

A book that I read for book chat fits in that description very well. It’s called Dog Runner and it’s about a brother and a sister that live in a time were there is no grass and plants and they try to find their Mum. On the way they find dangerous people and get in sticky situations.

I recommend this book if you like a fast paced book. It is action packed and a bit sad so I’d probably recommend it for confident readers.

For book chat at the moment I’m reading the Fall, the fall is about a boy who sees a man who gets pushed off a building and his dad seems very worried. The boy thinks it’s something to do with his dad, so he investigates. I think I will enjoy this book so I’m doing a lot of reading.

Judging C.B.C.A books

Hello my friends,

This term we judged C.B.C.A books focussing on information books. We made a list of criteria together for what makes a good information book. I think it is important that an information book includes a, sizzling start, problem, solving the problem and a ending that’s happy sad or ironic ending. 

This is a picture of my favourite book make believe 

This was my favourite book because I just read a really big book so it was an nice change and the illusions were amazing.  And to be honest with you I liked these illusions more than the modern ones, these more complex and they take longer  to figure out witch I like because the modern ones take two seconds to figure out.

Did you judge any CBCA books? If so, what did you think, or what would you say makes a good information book?
