Book Groups!!!

At school we have been doing book groups. We got different books to chose from, then we had to chose 5 of the ones that sounded good.
I'm reading Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key by Jack Gantos. In my group
there is Abby, Imogen, Oliver, Will F and Anthony.

The things that went well was that we all came with lots of good ideas and comments about the book.
Everyone also always got a chance to talk. We also asked a lot of questions that everyone thought about and then asked their own question.

The things that didn't go so well was that most of us were all talking at the same time and it was hard to hear each other.  The other thing was that we all mostly had the same questions and ideas, so there was not much to talk about.

What I gained from the experience is that I got to learn more about the book by hearing other people's ideas.

If you like funny books I suggest you read this book. It was really fun to read and also to talk about.

Rainbow Magic!!!

When I was younger my favourite series was Rainbow Magic. I would sit in my room nearly every day and read these books. I guess I liked collecting the books and looking at the different names the fairies had.

The Rainbow Magic series was written by Daisy Meadows. Over 150 books have been published since 2003.

These books are about two girls called Rachel Walker and Kirsty Tate. They have fairy friends that come to them when they are in trouble. Jack Frost and his goblins try to steal magic fairy dust and get up to mischief, and its up to Kirsty and Rachel to stop them. When they get the dust, the fairies take the girls to Fairyland where Queen Titania will reward them.

My favourite part of these books is that they get to go on lots on fun and hard adventures. If I was younger, I would love to read these books again.

What was the best part about your favourite book? 

My Holidays

These holidays I went to Auckland. It was quite fun!
On Easter us four older ones had a competition to win eggs. At the very end we got a  
GIANT egg. The two younger ones went on n egg hunt.

While we were there it was my little cousins birthday, he was turning 4. We stayed up really late making the cake and blowing up balloons and wrapping presents. We made him a dinosaur cake, and went to Chipmunks [it wasn't my choice] After that we went to the pool.


I really liked catching up with my family!
What did you do for your holidays?
