Book review 

   

               illustrator:Danielle McDonald

Characters:


There are lots of different characters  that all have a part in the story including, Peach Parker, Ella, Zoe, Raf, Peter, Prinny, Jade, Cordelia, Mr Apple-by and much more.My favourite character is Ella because she is crazy, kind, competitive, Pretty and brave. Prinny, Jade and Peach are all bffs but they are MEAN!!! For example they do major pranks and show off alot.

Plot:

It is about a girl called Ella and she is going to a camp called camp courage. Then she discovers that there are creepy noises outside at night and she is in the same cabin as Peach and her sidekicks for a whole week! Also there is something else she has to be brave for... and that is...THE GIANT SWING!!! She thinks it is going to be the worst camp ever. I will tell you no more so read it and find out.

My opinion:

I liked the Worst Camp Ever because Ella learnt to face her fears and not give up so that's what I learnt to do to. A  scary/funny part was when they when kayaking the kayak nearly tipped over . Another funny part was when Ella pranked Peach, when she was in the shower Ella put baby powder in the hair drier  so when she dried her hair it blew all over her. My favourite part was when Mr Apple-by had to jump in the pond to rescue every one fell in, but instead of trying to scramble around get out they just played around like crocodiles because of these things I really enjoyed it .

Recommended:     

I recommend this book to people that are worried or scared about something . If they read it they will learn to just do it and if they make a mistake just keep going. The people that read the book should be around 7-10 years old. I loved the book so much that i rate it a 5 out of 5 and I hope you do to.

Green Poem

Green sounds like trees delicately swaying in the  breeze.

Green makes you feel ill and tired.

Green smells like reeking rubbish in a big bin.

Green looks like a spiky cactus on the burning desert floor.

Green tastes like a sweet juicy lime.

Yellow poem

Yellow looks like the sun on a blistering day.

Yellow tastes like an extremely sour lemon.

Yellow smells like a buttercup shining in the sun.

Yellow sounds like a ball bouncing on the ground.

Yellow is a smile brightening up your day.

Professor Andy is an evil lover of science, and when he is doing it he goes loopy then none of his experiments ever work.

Andy’s hair is like an orange ray of sunlight that has been affected by lightning. The buttons on his shirt look like teardrops  dripping down to the floor. He has a hairy beard protruding out of his face. The professor has the accent of an angry pirate.

Professor Andy woke up one morning with a fabulous idea. “Aha” he shouted “I have a grand idea”. “ I will create a master killing potion. “So I can rule the world!”Later on when he had finished his potion it was time to test it. So then  he tested it on his enemy carol. “HA HA”He boasted . “ Now I will rule the world….

POPCORN

See:

The popcorn looked like a huge buttery cloud falling down to the ground. It turned inside out as slow as a grandpa turtle wandering around.

Taste:

The taste of the popcorn is a buttery delectable delight.Popcorn is as crunchy as a juicy red apple.

Feels:

It feels like a squishy yellow cloud. When you bite it, it feels like a petite explosion.

Smell:

Popcorn smells like a buttery piece of toast.The smell of popcorn is like the blue salty sea.

Hear:

When the popcorn pops it sounds a million massive balloons popping and blowing up the whole room.The sound of popcorn is very annoying.

A-nger of Tawhirimatua ripping his eyes apart to create the Seven Sisters.

Popular stories of room 10

 I have done a statistical investigation to find out which story Halsey Drive School likes the most.I predict that Ella Diaries will be most popular and Jack and the Bean stalk will be the least.

The options are:

1.Peter Rabbit

2. Jack and the Bean Stalk

3.Little Red Riding Hood

4.Ella Diaries

5. Ando Weirdo

I found out that in room 10 Peter Rabbit is the most popular story because it had 18 votes. Next most popular is Ando Weirdo that has 10.Then comes Ella Diaries with 1 and finally it is Jack and The Bean stalk and Little Red  Riding Hood that have none.

Lilly the first kid to create a 15 tier cake!!!


Lilly is just a normal 4 year old who was born in 1808 in England .In 1811 she decided to make a 15 tier cake .
You're probably wondering “why 15.” It's because she has a big family and she wanted it not just for herself but for everyone in her family,when they came back from their long long holiday.




Soon she started baking starting with the flour  and the baking powder  then the sugar. Next comes the milk and butter. Then she melted some chocolate and added that in. ”AHH" now I'm finished that cake I can move on to the next one she said with a sigh of relief. Then all of a sudden she realised…




Oh no! I forgot the eggs!!! She Exclaimed. Well I guess it would  be a lot faster then one at a time. Finally she finished  baking the cakes.It took her about 48 hours to do so! The next few days she was decorating the cake with edible Lego , flowers and marble icing . It was finally the weekend that her parents and family were coming home.


EEE! She screamed with excitement  then she heard a knock on the door . “Mummy” she said in a loud voice  whilst racing to the door.” I have a huge surprise for you!” 
“Oh wow “ her whole family including  her grandparents shouted. That is literally a new WORLD RECORD!!!
