Book review



The book I am reviewing is Hoot by Carl Hiaasen.

Hoot is about a boy called Roy who has moved from Montana to Florida. He gets bullied by Dana Matherson but if Dana had not pressed Roys head against the bus window, Roy would never have seen a strange boy running barefooted.

The story is basically a question. Will Roy meet the boy?

My favorite part so far has been when Beatrice the Bear tells Roy she knows the barefooted kid because he is her brother.

I would recommend this book to people who like mystery. Hoot is a very good book and is a great read. I rate it so far a 8/10.


Buddy Time

Every Friday my class goes to see our Buddies in Room 5. I share a Buddy with my friend Emily. Our Buddy's name is Lucy. I really enjoy my time with Lucy because she is so nice and is always eager to see me. During Buddy time we do many different things. Last time I went we did their portfolios. We also read to them, do Jump Jam with them, help them with their spelling and if we are lucky, art. I sometimes find it hard to control Lucy because she is a very independent girl. But despite that, Buddy time is always a look forward to.


Maths sample

This is a recent basic facts test that I did. I recently moved to the top maths class so my booklet is different to the others. My record is to do one hundred equations with a time of 2:43.

Handwriting sample

This is an example of some handwriting that I did earlier today. Olivia Seymour and me marked my work.
