The city of ember

Throughout this term we have been reading a book called the city of ember and we just watched the movie today on the 18/19 of September it was such a good movie because it caught you're attention easily. But the only thing that i didn't like about it was that the teacher kept pausing every 5 to 10 min just to write something down in our books so it took us two days to finish it. But in some bits it looked a bit un realistic like when they were going down the river in the boat/locker. But overall it was a really exciting to watch. :)   

Lakes High visit

Yesterday on the 11th of September all the year 8's from our school went and visited Lakes High School. We had lots of fun we went to alot of different rotations like art. Art was just basically tracing on a piece of plastic and melting it onto paper i gave it a 8/10. Cooking was the best because we got to make our very own chocolate molds by melting plastic. In science we played with dry ice and dissected body parts of the deer. Maths was like an amazing race maths style we had to collect lots of puzzle pieces to win. Languages was like a fisita we had to speak French and Spanish like bonjour and salut! But my favourite was playing this game called pirates in the gym. It is a game that's basically like line tag but there is alot of obstacles like trampolines and ropes that you have to go over and through. Over all we all had alot of fun and it has made me think more about what i want to do next year becoming a year 9 our leaders were very caring their names were Toby and Rebecca. I am very excited for next year so wish me luck :)

Our speeches

A couple of weeks back our school got involved in speeches. We all came up with our own speeches to any topic we desired. My topic was 'Encouraging Sports'. We had approximately 4 weeks to complete it. Then we presented it infront of the class and then picked whos was the best and they presented it infront of learning centre.

My Holiday

During my holidays I had allot of fun. On the first week I stayed at home with my cousin and we went to the movies and watched monsters university (which is a really good movie). Then on the second week I stayed up at my nana and granddads and the best thing was that my older brother had to work so i was up there all by myself, which was so relaxing. p.s I'm the only granddaughter in my family so i get spoilt like nana and granddads do. I also learnt how to surf  because my nana and granddad live by a beach my holiday has been so fun.

My Stormbreaker Report

Storm breaker Report

Trailing through the footsteps of his dead uncle Ian’s map Alex rider comes across many obstacles he has to concur including near death situations but he soon finds out not everything is easy. This is just the start of the movie we watched in class.

In this movie there are a lot of good actors but my favorite has to be Alex pettyfyer doing the role of Alex rider because he suits the whole movie put together because he looks like an action packed and adventurous person.

I think that this is one of the best movies that I have watched because I like adventurous and action packed movies and that’s exactly what it was. Once you have watched the very start of this movie it would be really hard to look away.

Personally I think that the movie was more interesting to watch because in the book it didn't describe everything as good as what was on the movie. I would recommend this movie for an audience of kids my age because if a little kid watched this they would get bored.

In the end I think this was a really good movie and I hope you have enjoyed my quick report on the movie vs book.
