Process

Hi!

I haven't been on for a while, i've been thinking of reports to do. At the moment I'm reading a book. When I am finished I will try and do a review on it.

Book Review - Thief by Malorie Blackman

Book review- Thief by Malorie Blackman

Thief by Malorie Blackman is a fantastic time travelling/ in the future story for all ages.
It was published in 1995.

Lydia runs away from home because she is accused of being thief, and is whirled into a storm that takes her into the future, were her old town is controlled by an evil tyrant. She needs to get back to her own time but there is a huge problem…

Lydia is the main character and she is one of my favourites because everything happens to her (she’s the victim), but she tries to be the hero. That leads me onto her brother Daniel; he tries to be the hero as well but is the one who is causing most of the trouble.

There were some parts of the story that made me laugh, like when Lydia and Daniel are tied up and are being watched by Frankie. Frankie (who is meant to make sure they don’t move) then cuts their rope and lets them free, causing a big chase. And when Lydia and Frankie show the head teacher showing Anne confess…

I absolutely loved Thief and thought it was a sweet but action packed story. At some points I just couldn’t put the book down. Great!
10/10

Book Review

Hi!

While I was in Sweden I finished my reading book " Thief" by Malorie Blackman and started to write a book review.

I have finished and will attach it onto the blog later today.


Thanks!

Planning on doing a report( you help me choose)

Hi!

I was thinking that it's about time that I did another report.
But I'm not sure what to do it on, so this is where you can help.

Please can you suggest some ideas for a report.
Thanks!

Review

Hi!

Below is my Review. Please remember this is my first review.

Review: Film: Dream Girls


Film Review: Dream Girls

Release Date:
2nd February

Stars:

Beyonce Knowles who plays Deena, one of the band members
Eddie Murphy (played Donkey in Shrek) who play the legendary singer James " Thunder" Early.
Jennifer Hudson (American Idol runner up in 2007) who plays Effie one of the strongest singers in the group.

The Plot:

Set in the 60s, three soul singers try to get in the music industry but people keep turning them down. They finally get the chance to show people what they are made of, and get to back up one of the legends James " Thunder" Early. Then when people have finally realised that they have potential to sing on there own, Curtis Taylor and Effie’s brother decide to put Deena in lead, which upsets Effie.

Best Bits:

When Effie has an argument with the other members of the group. Instead of shouting her argument she sings it with power and emotion. Not forgetting all the singing.

Fave Characters:

Effie because she has a great voice and just her personality.
Lorrell is another one of my favourites because she plays the youngest and she is very funny.

Any weak bits:
It was a bit of a sudden ending.

Hit or Miss:
I would say definitely a hit; I’ll run to the shops when it comes out on DVD.

Report Review complete

Hi!

My report and review are complete.

They are below.

Please leave a comment.



Report: What I think of the Playground Ban?

What I think of the playground ban!


The other day I heard that a school in Lincolnshire had banned contact playground games. One of them, which is a very popular game, called "Tag". They banned the game because they thought it was too rough.


Break time is the time where we can have fun. Running around is part of it. Without having a break we wouldn’t be able to work properly.


Playing contact games like Tag can be a lot of fun but it can be dangerous at times.
So with that in mind, I can see why teachers have banned the game.

However I do think that it’s a bit unfair, mainly because it’s an enjoyable game and even though you fall over its part of growing up.


So all in all I think that St John's Primary should stop being such a drag and bring back Tag!

Report and Review

Hi!

Today I have been working on a Film review for the film Dream Girls.
I have actually finished my rough and just need to do a little editing here and there.
I will try and put it up in the next few days.

I have also been working on a report on a playground ban. So that should be up soon as well...

A debate on cats!

Hello!

Today I was talking to my friend about cats and what we think of them. E has a completely different opinion on cats to me. Below is our debate.


Debate on Cats

"The love able felines are very cute and really good company like if you have something to get off of your chest they will listen and show sympathy where others would just laugh. Like if you really need a friend just remember your cat is the best friend you can possibly have!"
By E


Opposite thoughts!


"Cats are selfish. How are they selfish? Well for a start they only care about themselves. For example when you have fed them they ask to go straight away. Then when you try to feed them they won’t eat. And you know why… they've been to someone else’s house. How selfish!"
By Y

What do you think?

Book Review

Hi everyone!

A few days ago, I finished reading a book called " Zillah and Me" by Helen Dunmore.
I've never done a book review so I think I am going to try and learn how to do one and do a review for " Zillah and Me".
It should be fun!

If you have any tips on writing a book review, that would be great!
Thanks!

Book to help!

Hello!

The other day my Gran got a book for me called " Writing the Hobby that pays". It's by Gordon Wells. And it's a very good book I would recommend it to anyone who likes writing, whether it's stories or poems or articles.

Fairie Report!

Hi Guys!



Sorry I haven't been on for a while. Happy New Year!



Sorry I took so long I was a bit delayed. Hope you like it!
Here's my report I did on Fairy's:

What I think of Fairies!

I think Fairies may exist.
A fairy, what is a Fairy? My opinion of a fairy is a supernatural being. They look like humans, but have small wings. They have the ability to fly and cast spells.

Some say fairies cause mischief, like putting " elf locks’’ into peoples hair while they are asleep. Elf locks are tangles. On the other hand some people say Fairies are kind and help people in difficult situations. I think Fairies are more likely to be kind than nasty.

Do fairies exist?

I really don’t know. Some people say they do and some say they don’t.
For me to know that they really exist, I have to see one. If I took a picture of one and saw it in the photograph and began to see more of them. Then I would start to believe in them.

So all, in all I think Fairies are caring, supernatural beings that may exist in this huge and extraordinary world.

Fairies/ Writing report

Hello!

The other day I put up a post, saying that I needed some ideas for reports. Queen Neetee, suggested that I do a report on Fairies. I took that to mind and began writing. I have my draft and just need to do a little editing here and their.

I will put it up when it is ready. ( Hopefully in the next few days )

Thanks

Deciding??

Hello!

I'm still thinking what to do my next report on. I'm open for suggestions.
Um... Hopefully ill get an idea.

My Interview with Kylie Minogue - Showgirl Princess!

I am a member of the BBC Press Pack Club. Every now and then they have competitions. To meet Authors, Singers and loads of many different people.

I entered a competition to meet Kylie Minogue at Waterstones in London, for the release of her first ( children's) book. " The Showgirl Princess ".

In fact , i won the competition along with 100 other children. I was also asked if I would like to interview her. Of course, I said that I would. I was very excited about it! On the 30th September was when it all happened.

I then wrote a report - including an interview with Kylie herself.

Graffiti

Graffiti

Graffiti is everywhere ! But it has been around for decades. Since the 1960s. That’s a long time!
I think Graffiti is art. Because sometimes it is really good and expresses what people are feeling.

But some people like to use it as vandalism. Which I don’t agree with.
Sometimes depending on where it is it seems a bit frightening. And scares people.

My area doesn’t really have Graffiti but were I used to live there was quite a bit. And it didn’t look good.

Its like for example 95% of people like painting and use it in a nice way. But the remaining left over like to ruin it and use it in a nasty way.

So all in all I think Graffiti is art as long as we use it in a constructive way!


Yeah that was a report on. Well you know what it was about. But I did that in... September.

Having Started Secondary School

My Few weeks in having started Secondary School

In the summer term I was really nervous about starting secondary school. I knew it was going to be a big change. Like being around older kids and having more homework. Or the older kids being nasty.But now having been at my new school for 6 weeks I’m not afraid or nervous anymore. I remember on my first day I was frightened but then afterwards I thought it went quite well.

I was concerned about homework and getting a detention but I think I’ve been OK and I haven’t had any detentions for homework. We were told to make a homework timetable, so I made one and it’s helped quite a bit. So my advice is to not be worried and just think once you know when you get you homework make a timetable and you’ll find it much easier to keep on track.

There are lots of changes when you go to secondary school but my tip is to not worry!

I was also worried about being around older kids but a few weeks in and I think its been OK. But if you are scared of the older kids just stay with your friends or join clubs made for your year group.

So all in all my starting secondary school has been a good experience!
Don’t worry you’ll be fine!


That report was one I did for kids who were starting Secondary School. I mean we all know how we felt when we first started. And what we worried about. I tried to help!
Again let me know what you thought of it. I did it in October.

Animal Testing

My views on Animal Testing
Animal testing is cruel and nasty, I think it should stop now!

It is estimated that 50-100million animals worldwide are used yearly and some often die in the process, which I don’t agree with.

Some of those animals that are used are called mice and most of the experiments are used by them. However I don’t understand why they use animals when there are so many alternatives?

Lots of cures have been found by animals but again it should stop! There are alternatives such as using human tissue in a test tube or using computers.

I have a cat and I know cats are also being used for drugs on the nervous system. When I think about it, it just makes me feel sick.

Let’s just think about it. Animals are similar to humans but not exactly. The animals may react differently to humans. So using animals does not always work.

All in all, I think animals have as many rights as humans and should not be used for experiments, as there are alternatives!



That was my last report I did that was published! I think in November.

Ma History Of Writing!

I absolutely love writing! I have been writing for about 2 years.

Even when i send in reports, some of them don't get published but I don't get upset.
Above are some of my reports that I have wrote.
