bad guys

The book that I have read is called bad guys. In the story there is

an alien invasion but only the bad guys could stop them and there

was a problem.

When the bad guys were going to save the earth, they

were 65 years back into the past and were attacked by

dinosaurs. Their friend wolf told them that if they stay very

still the dinosaurs can’t see them but he was wrong because

dinosaurs bit onto Mr Wolf’s bow tie and started dragging him up and down. 

Their friend snake came to save them from the dinosaurs.

He threw rocks at the dinosaurs and the dinosaurs fell on the ground.

The bad guys started running away. Snake told the bad guys to

follow him to this place.

They made it to the place where

there were a lot of trees and they

hid behind one big tree.

They saw the dinosaurs were coming, so snake thought of a plan.

He dressed up his friend shark like a tree and shark stood out in the

open. The dinosaurs walked right passed them and they moved

slowly away from the dinosaurs and ran up to a high mountain.

When they reached up on the mountain, snake said

that he knows where a time travel space ship is but it

was broken and they needed to fix it, so we can get back

to earth and save  everybody. When they were finished

fixing the time machine, they saw a button on it that said

do not press. Their friend spider went in first and they

went in after but they didn't know that they pressed the

button that said do not press. When they made it to

earth they had superpowers. They beat the aliens

and the aliens went back to their homes and never

came back to earth again.

Book week in schools

This week was book week.There was a play performed in our school hall on Tuesday.

The play was about the Treasure Hunt that has been written by Craig Christie.

There were two tribes living on an island. These two tribes blamed each other for stealing each others song.

The Tree land tribe was led by George and the sea view Tribe was led by Jessica. These two characters teamed up to solve the problem about the lost treasure that was there song.

The problem was solved when they were able to put the torn map together and work out how to get to the treasure. They had to read three different books to solve the problem.

I really enjoyed this play because both the characters were very smart and talented. They sang very well and were also very hilarious.

Thank you Sam and Lidia for coming to our school. I hope to see you again next year.
