My Holiday - By Aaron

My family were planning to go to Clevedon, Clevedon is surrounded by farms, livestock and the sea. After we arrived, our first stop was a park. we decided to go somewhere more comfortable like the sea so we went near a marae and found a park.


We got hungry so we finally ate. We made a salad. After our stomachs were full we played a game of soccer. We had lots of fun even our dad played. Soccer is a game where you use your feet, head and chest.

In soccer there are two goals lined up. Equal the teams then to start the game of two people face each other in the middle. Throw up the ball then kick the ball in the goal. There are also outs like when you kick the ball out of the line that is called an out that is when you can use your hand to throw in the ball in to your teammate. Goalies can touch the ball to stop it from scoring a point. After an hour it was time to go home but we stop by a beach.

The Students in Class 8 have been given the opportunity to have a quick browse of some brand new, hand picked books for them. Below are their first reviews.


This is the book that I am reading which is called Mr Stink. I would describe this book as a hilarious book. I have only read 1 page and a half but I am keen to read more. I would rate this book a 10/10. I can not wait to read more of this awesome book !

Mini Book Review:
Today I have read a really interesting book with my friend Stevenson. It is fiction with lots of characters and amazing pictures. This story would probably be rated a 10 out of 10 because it is interesting, funny and you can even draw in it. I have read a lot of books but this probably is my first favourite and my second is The Holocaust Escape.


I have been reading a story called Monkey Bars and Rubber Ducks so far I have only read 3 pages. It stars off at lunch time when 4 friends set of for lunch. They then recognize that there friend, Copper pie, Wasn't there. So they just leave and start saying that he will turn up. A few minutes later he turns up and his friends ask him where he has been suddenly someone interrupts, It was there enemy callum. Callum said somewhere he shouldn't have been. And that is all I have read so far. I would rate this book for the three pages a 7 and a half out of ten. That is because it is interesting and I haven't read the hole thing.




Today my literacy teacher, Mr Somerville bought us new books so we don't get bored. So here is some of what happened in the 1st chapter.

There is a boy who's name is Evan and so his older brother Chris broke his leg after skateboarding and his parents band skateboarding for their family, but Evan loves skateboarding. To be continued... What I liked about this book was the vocab because it hooks in the reader and then they get interested in this book. The Author for this book is JAKE MADDOX, Illustrations by SEAN TIFFANY. Also there are more books like this which makes me really excited.
