Summer Recount

Back in May Robert, my best friend, and I were in the pitch playing shots. We were playing shots because it was scorching out. When Robert and I were going the pitch there was already lots of people there. We hoped over the board and put our boots on .First I walked a bit with the ball and shot and shot it in the goal. I hit the crossbar and it rolled back out and Robert struck it and it flew in the top corner and I applauded him . After that we played heads & volleys with Ross Fay and Brian Mccarthy . The game only lasted five minutes. Next Scott Muka Lawless and Justin Anene came and we all had a game of crossins. On the day I really really enjoyed it and I picked up some new tricks on the evening . I would love another one of those days.

6th Class are Shooting Hoops in Trinity!

On November the 13th sixth class went to learn basketball in Trinity College. The weather was atrocious so we had to get Sammi Murphy's bus. Trinity College is running a programme called TAP and we have an hour to play basketball once a week. First we did a drill that Scott and Dylan had to demonstrate. It was just passing it to each other. Then he told us about the 5 lines on the amazing court. 1) end line 2) side line 3) halfway line 4) three point line 5) the foul line. After that we had a match and we were getting beaten but only for Scott, he got the equalizing point to make it a draw at 1 -1 and our team mate Cian got a smack of the ball in the face. I think basketball was class and it was my first time playing it and I am actually good at it. If I got a scholarship I would take it. I can't to go next week. Basketball was class. by Scott and Brandon

One Book One Community - Once

We are reading the book Once by Morris Gleitzman. We are reading it because it is the book chosen for One Book, One Community. There are 16 school in the North Inner City reading the book. The book is based in Poland in 1942 during World War 2. The book is about a Jewish boy called Felix who escaped from an orphanage and met a girl called Zelda. They both tried to get to to the city when they were caught by Nazis. They thought the Nazis could help them find there parents but we know there parents are dead. But instead the Nazis brought them to a ghetto when they ran out of the line. They thought the Nazis were burning Jewish books until they saw a Jews person get shot. Then a man called Barney hid them in a cellar were he was hiding and feeding several other kids. I really like this book so far. We are learning all about World War 2 in history. By Josh Doran I would really recommend this book to others.

Indian in the Cupboard

Author: Lynn Reid Banks

    I have read the book, Indian in the Cupboard, by Lynn Reid Banks. It’s based in London. It mainly takes place in Omri’s, the main characters, bedroom and in a school.

   The characters are Omri, Patrick, Little bull and Boone. My favourite character is Little Bull he is bossy, dangerous and crazy. He wears moccasins and a chief hat with feathers. He is my favourite character because he is 7cm toy that had being changed from plastic to real life. He shot a cowboy called Boone in the chest with a bow and arrow.

     The plot begins with getting a cupboard for Omri’s birthday, he got the cupboard of his brother also he got a plastic Indian of his friend Patrick. In the night he put the Indian in the cupboard and locked it with the a key he got of his mam.

     The climax is when Omri bring the cowboy and Indian in to school. He gives them to Patrick. Then Patrick goes to the principal and showed them to him. The principal was so shocked he went home. Omri was very angry.

     The book is funny, gory, interesting also it was also to read.

     I like the book because there was a lot of magic in it. My favourite part about the book was when the chief Indian died over a heart attack.

    The book is easy to read.

    I would rate the book 10/10
