We liked this book because it was really funny. The main character is Stink and he is Judy Moody’s brother. Stink is always trying to impress people and never gives up. He is always trying to make his sister Judy Moody jealous.

In this book Stink goes to a candy shop and buys a jawbreaker. Stink was not very happy because the jawbreaker did NOT break his jaw. When he was finished he wrote a letter of complaint and receives a huge box of sweets for free. He then gets the idea to start writing letters of complaint to lots of shops… Judy Moody is very jealous.

This week we chose the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Cabin Fever. We liked this book because it is fun to read. We also liked it because there are other Diary of a Wimpy Kid books we can read. We really like the illustrations because they have funny speech bubbles. It is easy to read but there are also lots of challenging words. Both boys and girls enjoyed reading the book.

Greg Heffley is in trouble. He is the prime suspect for damaging school property. Luckily he is stuck inside for the Christmas holidays because there is a blizzard while his dad is having the time of his life. Rodrick his older brother has joined the church singing band but maybe he has taken it a little too far because he brings his drums to the church. Manny, his younger brother, takes the T.V. and is smart enough to only have the channels he likes on the T.V. Greg knows when the snow melts he will have to face the music.

This week in second class we recommend the book Matilda by Roald Dahl.

Matilda is a young girl who loves reading books. She is a very sensible little girl. Her parents are very cruel to her and hate her reading books. She has a teacher called Ms. Honey and she is very kind. The principal is Ms. Trunchbull and she is very, very mean.

We like this book because both boys and girls enjoyed reading it. We really like the character Matilda because she is very clever, smart and funny! Matilda has magic powers and plays very funny tricks on her parents and principal. It is a very entertaining book.

 

Farm Safety

Today we discussed the importance of Farm Safety. The children discussed rules to follow when keeping safe on a farm. With their partners they wrote about and illustrated their rule on the iPads. We then presented these to the class.
