Extraordinary Warren-Book review

Warren lives in a quiet farm.He is just an ordinary chicken, just average.He was not the only one on the farm there was other chickens and animals. All day the chickens would peck at the chicken feed everyday and all day which drove Warren mad! So he decided to ask the other chickens about their opinion if they were to change from chicken feed to another food, but all the chickens laughed at him.They didn't understand Warren and he felt alone so he walked away feeling depressed. Meanwhile Warren wasn't the only one who was unhappy- Millard the rat was also looking for something different then trash. All he wanted was for someone to throw out something good like a nice grilled steak or spaghetti and meatballs or some special chicken. Warren heard that and couldn't believe his ears, He told the rat that he might be special and the rat asked "Is it possible that you could even be chicken supreme. Warren was so happy that he went to go tell the other chickens. Rat heard him and decided to keep an eye on him. Warren bumped into an egg on the way he asked if it was okay then sat against it talking about how he was going to be a superhero-chicken supreme and the egg would be his trusty sidekick. When Millard woke up he saw the chicken and the egg then he climbed to the top of the trash can and saw or the other chickens then decided to invite the other chickens to a barbecue. When Warren got back they were learning to fly he knew he would have to learn to fly to be chicken supreme. But he couldn't fly he was sad, everyone laughed at him so he walked away. He saw Millard again and said he can't be chicken supreme because he couldn't fly but Millard said that you don't need to fly to be chicken supreme just the right seasoning and a little cream sauce. When Millard walked away he saw on his book it said '1001 Recipes for Chicken' he then realised he was trying to cook him. He told the chickens but they laughed at him again. He walked away and accidentally knocked over the egg and when he was chasing after it he flew but couldn't catch it and it cracked then he landed on Millard's grill and broke it, The barbeque was off. When Warren walked off he felt a tap on his tail he turned around and saw egg as a chicken. He asked about him being sidekick and egg being his sidekick but Warren told him it was off and they walked off together. I give this book a 4 and it would be suitable for ages 7-12.

Learning confrence

What has made a difference to my learning so far this year? Mr Swindells has made a difference to my learning because he has taught me lots of different ways to do Writing and Reading What are the highlights you have had so far this year? Some of the highlights this year have been: Getting Third in class, getting into the opera,getting into choir,getting Blousy in Bugsy Malone and having Mr Swindells as my teacher. What has been a challenge this year and how did you overcome it? My challenge this year was in maths beacuse I was struggling to understand the work I was doing. I have overcome it by asking my teacher for some help and also some help from my friends. What groups, teams, and extra activities, music groups etc. have I been involved with this year? The groups I have been involved in this year are: Singing lessons, The opera, Herb and berry farmer,Choir and my sport teams. What habit of mind will you be focusing on and why? The habit of mind I am focusing on is Remaining open to contious learning because sometimes I get a bit nervous or embarresed to say I do not know the answer. WRITING - Explain your attitude and effort towards writing. Have you improved and how do you know? What are some recent goals you have had. I enjoy writing because you get to use your imagination. I think that I put lots of effort into it to make it more interesting and fun to read and so the reader can enjoy it also. Some of my recent goals have been: Recrafting my writing, Using better describing words and getting better at my planning. READING - Explain your attitude and effort towards reading. Have you improved and how do you know? What are some books that you have read this year. I also really enjoy reading because it is like going into a whole different world. I think I have improved my Reading by listening to the Harry Potter audio because you can understand the story better because it makes more sence. Some of my favourite books I have read this year is: Faceless,Harry potter,Geek girl and girl underground.

Bugsy Malone

Next week we are doing Bugsy Malone (Our year 7 production) I am really excited because our class has put lot's of effort into it and everyone is going really well. My character is Blousy Brown

Reading!

This week I have been reading a book called Hollie Chips. It is about a girl named Hollie who is an unusual girl and not because she has one eye brown and the other blue and has never ever had a friend, but because she cannot tell a lie. So when she finds out a man named Barry Bucksud has been lying to her and her neighbors about a dog food factory: Chowtown dog food. She has to become friends with Ethel Bainbridge the neighborhood bully, a cello player bullied by Ethel named Phillipa Topsy, And the very glum man Mr Oblivious also known as John Johns with the brown house. Which will not be easy but with her mum's brilliant baking skills and Hollie's sweetness she is bound to get some friend's or will she... Read it in Hollie chips.

Reading

This week I am reading a book called Nathalia Buttface: five minutes of fame. It is about a girl called Nathalia Bumole who becomes famous accidently. She becomes famous by yelling at her dad while a bee is in her pants. Also she has a friend called Darius who works at a ugly pets home which the council is going to bulldoze over by the end of the month so to stop that Nat, Darius and Nat's very embarrising dad decide to raise money for it with Nathalia's fame. I really like this book because it has lot's of twists in it and it is very funny. This book would be suitible for girls and maybe boys age group- 10+.

Innovation timeline

Innovation

This term our big idea is Innovation that means to improve something that already exists. This week we have been studying about some innovations that were made around the 1920's because that was when bugsy our year 7 production is set in,and were put with a innovation, My group and me were put with penicillin. We had to research who discovered it and when it was discovered then we presented it in front of the class.We are going to be doing some innovation in tech by making cars and more subjects.

Reading form

Reading Form

This week we were introduced to a new reading activity that we will be doing every week. On the reading form we have to: write our name what book we reading how long we have read it for this week and summarise what we have read this week.Each week it will change so next week it will not be summarise it will be something different.

HABITS OF THE MIND

My habit of the mind this week is: Remaining open to continuous Learning  I have chosen that one because sometimes I am too embarrased to say that I do not know what to do or I am unsure. I can stop this by making sure to be honest when doing work.

Habits of Mind!

Applying past knowledge to new situations is my goal for this week. I can achieve this by stopping and thinking if I have done it before and if I have what was the outcome if it was good or bad. I would like to achieve this by:the end of this term and next term to be able to do it constantly.

Sugar!

SUGAR!

In 7MS we have been learning about Sugar! So Mr Swindells told us to bring in a empty food package to see how much sugar is in it. I learnt alot from that like that so many companies lie about their products ingredients. Example: Hash browns apparently have no sugar but it had Dextrose which in fact is another word for sugar. I also found it very interesting and Fun especially getting to see all the sugar that I would never had guessed was in the products.
