Don't get freaked out there's going to be no earthquakes it's just a story I've been reading for reading time. This story is a fiction book about a man named Phil Ridley and he gets stuck in an earthquake. Here's a little something to help you. Something's not quite right. Phil Ridley's cat, Rollo, is acting strangely and, late at night, birds are singing. In another part of the city, at the Seismology Research Station, Lucy Washington watches the seismograph in disbelief. There's going to be an earthquake, and it's going to be a big one! Out on the streets, Sergearnt Jeff Finch watches in horror as buildings crumble and cars move about the road like toys. But what about Phil and Rollo? They are in danger and are going to need help-fast! So will Phil and Rollo survive or will they be crushed? You should read this book because I bet you want to know if Phil and Rollo gets crushed or will they get rescued and survive. Also you should read this book because it's a great way to kind of understand how earthquakes work and what to have ready if an earthquake hits.

Rm 1 fantastic ANZAC art!!!
In room 1 we have been doing tonal modelling ANZAC art. I have done my ANZAC art that includes a flag pole with the mast half way down, with a cross on the hill so that represents that some one important has died and is buried on the hill the person is from ANZAC war. The poppies stand for ANZACs.
Horton is in RM1
At Summerland we have had a book character parade and I went as Horton hears a who. It was really embarrassing because I looked really fat but I had fun while being fat because I had pillows and people were punching them, it felt funny. I went as Horton because he was one of my favourite characters and he inspires me because he believed in something that no one did and he didn't care what people said, it was just about what he thought.

I wore a long black and wite skirt, a white,black and silver top and a purple poncho with a grey hat and pink glasses.It was fun to see all the things you could be and were I guess i'm saying it was amazing.
Sophie's book character
Book Character Day Fun
On the 18th we had a book character parade. I was Clint Eastwood. I chose to be Clint Eastwood because it was a last minute thing that didn't cost anything and it turned out awesome. Here's a little bit about the story: It starts of with Clint taking a whole lot of cows across a stream and then some bandits come and ask him where he got the cattle and he lies so they hang him but the a marshal comes along rescues him and takes him to the county sheriff who takes him to jail but then the governor general asks him to be a marshal, so in the end it all works out for him. I had a great time at the book character parade ad there were many great costumes and I bet everybody else did to.
Book charater day
Last week we had a book character week and that meant the whole school could dress up as there best book character that they thought was cool. I dressed up as shaggy. I dressed up as him because I asked my sister " who should I dress up as" and she said "Shaggy" so I went and got some pants and an old green t-shirt and put my old boots on and a jacket that looks like shaggy's . my sister and I like shaggy because he's funny and is scared of things that aren't scary.

Basketball Field Day Fun
Yesterday a whole lot of Summerland students and I went to the Waitakere trust stadium to play basketball and I was number 7. At first I had a weird feeling in my stomach but when the games began I started to feel better. The first game we played we were against Western Heights and we won! In all the games we had we won 2, lost 1 and drew 1. I had a great day and I bet everybody else did. Now basketball is one of my favourite sports because even though it was my first time I loved it.
