Hi, This term has bean great for book chat and my favourite Book this term was the 1000 year old boy by Ross Welford. It book is a Family and friendship book with plenty of character but you have to watch out because the perspective changes through out the book.

The book is a bout two boys. The first Alfie had an acsident when he was young with his cat allowing him and the cat to get to 1000. The other boy is Aidan ho moves into a new house next to a little girls call Roxy and they help Alfie through the modern world.

I liked this book because it always kept me on edge and had a great storyline. It kept me on edge because it is a very eventful book but quite complex. It had a great story line because it never gave anything away and was quite a complex read and I recommend it for years 4 and up.

What was your favorite book?Why?

Hi, this week the student blogging challenge is about holidays we celabrate.

In Australia we celebrate melborne cup day, a holiday were people race horses for a big trophy. We also celabrate Grand final day were people pay a final of AFL. We also celabrate Australia day when the first fleet arrived at Australia.

First is Melbourne cup day. This holiday is held on the first tuesday of november and you get monday of. The event is held in Flemington Victoria. This years winner of the cup was a horse called ‘Vow and declare’. On melbourne cup day my family normally go away to the country.

The second is grand final day. It holiday is often on the last weekend of september but can change. On this holiday people tend to go to Australia’s largest AFL playing fiel the MCG to watch the two best teams play even if there team is not playing. If my family’s team is playing in the final we go to the match if not we go out to the country.

The third is Australia day. This holiday on the 26th of january has many throughts about it. The day represents the day the first fleet landed in new south wales. Many people do not give this holiday a second thought but many aboriginal people (the tradition owners of the land) do not like this holiday and some want it moved to a different date while others what it completely removed because that was the day the british took the traditional owners land and disrespected them and they don’t think that it should be treated as a time to celabrate.

I have bean to the Grand final several times to watch my team play and it was an experience I will never forget .

Some of the things that represent these events and celabrations.
