How to Train Your Dragon Series

If any of you like the movie How to Train Your Dragon,then you`ll probably like these books because the movie is based on the series but I think it`s even better. It`s about a boy called Hiccup who has a pet dragon called Toothless (although not the same size as the Toothless in the movie) and friends called Camacazi and Fishlegs. Together they have to defeat Hiccup`s arch enemy, Alvin the treacherous, and go on quests which usually end up with lots of treasure, magical dragons and sword fighting (which Hiccup is really good at surprisingly). I think it is also a very funny series for all ages.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is my favourite Roald Dahl book by far; I just couldn't put it down! I loved how it was filled with excitement, silliness and mouth watering sweets (made by Willy Wonka, the greatest chocolate inventor ever). The treats were described in such good detail that I felt like I could actually picture them and they sounded so good that I wished they were real! My favourite description was a lemon soda filled pool!

Charlie (the main character/protagonist) lives in a small old house with his two parents (Mr and Mrs Bucket) and four grandparents. They are very poor, but even so, Charlie loves chocolate. Unfortunately Charlie`s family is so poor that he only gets to eat chocolate once a year, on his birthday.

Something very unexpected happens to Charlie by pure luck and changes his life. It wouldn't have happened if he hadn't had a keen eye. It is a good change for the whole Bucket family and the story has a very happy ending.

This book teaches you that if people tell you not to do something then you should really think about that. Some of the children in the story were told  not to do something but decided to do it anyway. They ended up getting into a lot of trouble. It also teaches you that things can change in your life, just like that;  if you are having a rough time, keep having hope.

I don`t want to spoil the surprise but it was a 10 out of 10 story and great for all ages above seven years old.

Autumn Haiku

Here are some more Haiku poems written about Autumn.  Some of us were inspired to write more than one!  We hope you enjoy reading them.

          

 

               The silent brown trees,                                             It’s Autumn, leaves fall,

                           Insects crawling up the trees,                              The leaves change their colour green,
Beautiful Autumn.                                                   Frogs jump in a pond

                      By Aksh and Advait                                                                By Miguel and Vega

 

      
        Temperature gets cold,              Some trees change colours,           Fires are burning strong,
   Some animals hibernate,           Winter coming very soon,              Trees coloured orange and red,
We know it’s Autumn.                We start wearing coats.                  Leaves are falling down.

                                                        By Jesse and Irene

 

The trees leaves fall down,                                        Places are different
     The ground gets covered in leaves,                          People change clothes in Autumn,
         Colours change the floor.                                           Gardens are messy.

                                                                    By Sara and Luis

 

             Trees blow in the wind,                                  The leaves change to brown,
       Lots of trees die in Autumn,                           People make a huge bonfire,
The rain makes it cold.                                        Fog is very thick.

                                                        By Niamh and Matias

 

The wind blows quickly,                                             The sheep change fleeces,
     And the leaves fall down the trees,                         And the fireworks shoot up,
          And the rains fall down.                                             You wear your jumper.

 
                             The leaves change colour,
                                    And the night comes more quickly,
                                              You clean your garden.

                                                                                                             By Maria and David

    

       The leaves fall on the

            Floor and hit the ground with a
                  Sudden thud, waiting.

                             Brown leaves get blown by

                                    The wind and then they get burnt
                                      And turn to black ash.

                                                       In the misty wind,

                                                        Orange, yellow and brown leaves,
                                                               Swirl all around us.

Here's 4B's book of 100-word stories:

The Golden Bell

The Story of the Golden Bell

By: Jesse Kemmetmueller

A group of four brave explorers started off on an adventure to find the legendary golden bell of the sun. The bell was given this name because it radiated such magnificent light.  If the bell’s light shone on you, you would be filled with bravery that lasted forever.

The explorers had an ancient map they were following. They first needed permission from four birds to cross a mountainous area known as The Agjes. The birds said they could cross on one condition. The birds wanted to go too!

The explorers finally reached their destination and were dazzled with the light. They were filled with bravery and returned to their homes as heroes.
