This book is 'Tales of Terror from the Tunnel's Mouth' by Chris Priestley. I have never read anything by Chris Priestley, but I have already begun to like him. This book is set on a train, where a 'woman in white' is telling a young boy spooky stories, because their train has stopped at a tunnels mouth, and they want to pass the time. Chris has written two other stories, both in the 'tales of terror' series, and is currently writing another spooky book. I would rate this book 8/10 and recommend it to people who like terror.
I was reading this book, and very recently finished it. This book is called 'A Medal for Leroy' by Michael Morpurgo. I love Michael Morpurgo's writing, he is a very good author, and often writes during World Wars. This book is about a young boy, who is reading a letter from his Grandma, and finds out some very interesting information. I would rate this book a 9/10 and recommend it to readers who like interesting and 'inspiring' tales.

We made a collage using a photo of the side of our face. We had to cut pictures out of magazines, that we like/represent us. I have mostly dogs on my collage.
At food tech, we have to design a mama mia Pizza. I am doing mine with Ruby, and we are making ours in a medal shape. Our Pizza is called 'The Prize'. On it, we have Salami, Pizza sauce, cheese, ham, and roasted Potato.
This is my painting for the French Film festival. The school gave anyone who wanted to, a sheet and they had to draw something realating the the great French outdoors. There were about 30-40 entries, and only 5 people got choosen. I was one of them! I drew a great picnic. My mum and I brainstormed 4 ideas, (because my mum has been to France and I haven't) and this is the one I choose. We got given a canvas and had to paint it on. I don't have much paints, so I used watercolor. The paintings are now up at cinema Gold,
This is another entry made, that I like very much.

I am reading a book called 'The Night Gardener' by Jonathan Auxier. Jonathan has also written 'Peter Nimble and his Fantastic Eyes'. The Night Gardener is a wonderful story, that is spooky. I would recommend it to good readers that like a bit of adventure, and doesn't get spooked out by scary things at night. I would rate this book 9 and 1 half out of 10!
Pie Poster
Working with Wolves
We had to make a PIE poster, using one subject to write in three different formats - Persuade, Inform, and Entertain. I used 'Working with Wolves' as that is something I know a lot about, and I want to do when I am older. You can read what I wrote in every block.

My Goldbook Goals
By the end of term 2, I want to have got my sports award.
I am going to achieve this by trying new sports, and getting as involved as I can.
I also want to have at least 8+ points on at least one of my tech things.
I will achieve this by listening, and trying my hardest at my tech groups.
By the end of year 8, I want to have at least 3-5 of my flashes, and if I get four flashes, to get my honours badge.
To achieve this I will get involved at everything, and listen, and be respectful.

This is my resilience poster. In it I have said what resilience is, I have made and used some quotes and told what they mean.
We had to make this poster because: resilience is one of our REACH values. We all had to make a poster explaining what the value is and how we can show it around the school.
I am very proud of this poster and do try to show resilience whenever I can.
