Summary With 25 Words

" Lida don't leave me!."..... I was sent to make bombs and lose friends that had been killed by the Nazis. I escaped with nothing left to lose.

This is a summary I wrote about the story Making Bombs For Hitler, but the catch is I can only use 25 words! In this summary I acted like I was the character itself in this way the summary would explain more.

Awful Auntie recreated Cover

This is a book cover I have recreated. I think my cover looks better because it is eye catching. I really like the contrast of my colors. I also like this one because it looks less like a kids book so adults would like to read a comedy book aswell!
The original cover

I Become Zoe's Sidekick

Image result for ratburgerIn this blogpost I will be writing a paragraph on why I would be a great sidekick for the main character in the story. The story I have chosen is Ratburger. This story has been written by David Williams one of my favorite authors. The main character is Zoe and the reason I have chosen to be her sidekick is because I think that she would need a friend to be by her side and to and comfort her. Her step mother is absolutely awful and her father is barely with her, spending his time at the pub and overall her family is very poor. Here enemies are Burt the man who sells burgers made out of minced rats and sheila her step mother ( Sheila and Burt are soon together once they meet). Zoe has always needed someone she can rely on.

Rewriting the Ending

In today's activity I have chosen to rewrite the ending of my story. The ending of the story has Lida from making bombs for Hitler receiving a letter from her long lost little sister Larissa asking whether she would like her step parents to adopt her and come live with her through my perspective this is a great ending but an even better ending for me would be.......

25 years later Lida and Luke get married they're child is know 3 years old and they come to a park, and it explains what they have been through. One day " Lida is that you " Her eyes fill up with tears,
" Larrisa....". After that another series of the book comes out

Holiday reading Challenge - setting

This image is part of the holiday reading challenge and is based on a scene of the book Making Bombs For Hitler. The scene has Lida and her sister Larrisa before they were separated in the war. They are lying in bed together cozy and in their own home.In this activity I was asked to draw a scene witch I liked this was very hard for me as there were no scenes except for the camp were there were slaves.

Choosing my own activity

Today I am creating my own activity to complete! I have decided to learn how to knit! I wanted to learn this because in the book the main character Lida was a professional and she even got called out to work in the sewing and laundry room instead of working with the other slaves under horrible condition. I told my mum if she could teach me and she said yes! Sewing is actually really fun I learnt cool things like sewing on buttons and I think this knew skill will come in handy.

My Narrative story

Title - A man who goes through a secret life to save his country

Intro -James Bond who works with a secret spy agency not even government knows about. He spends every day life fighting crime to save the world, but the world see’s him none other than a shadow. James Bond secretly grabs the CD that has all of the upcoming Kings evil plan but gets caught in the middle “ He’s in there CATCH HIIIIIIMM!” The future king demands the security to chase after him before he escapes with the CD in his hands. He smashed through glass but you barely see any scratches his suit that he wears to every mission looking fine.

Problem - 3 days have past by he is hiding away dodging everyone who may put him in danger. He completes refilling his gun with bullets, " It's time" he sighs to himself knowing what dangers may come ahead. It 11:00 night time and he is driving his custom made Ferrari packed with weapons he is on his way to the meeting where he will see the Queen,President and Pope.

Explain - Calculating the times he’ll have to stop he should reach his destination at 3:05 midnight He has fully co-ordinated the Meeting house which is in London and knows exactly where to find the DVD player. He hooks the rope onto the balcony making the job look so easy he answers a phone call and hanging onto the rope in one hand from Sam his co worker “ So once you reach the top across you will see a curtain behind that curtain are Queen Elizabeth the president and pope.”
“ Yeah, yeah five meters across them will be the DVD player you’ve told me like a thousand time Sam” James Bond ends the phone call before he can speak again”

Solution remains a mystery- He is almost there he stands still on top of the balcony, 'what is that noise' he says to himself 'it sounds like the police!' " do not move! the whole building is surrounded by FBI. A single move of a muscle will cause the Trigger to go off" He exclaims trying to keep a calm voice but it obviously isn't working. "  Please just let me explain myself…( he hesitates not wanting to let down the country) your future king is a fraud, If you just let me show you the CD you'll understand why I am doing this. He was know being circled by a helicopter This was being filmed on live TV!

This is a Narrative story I have written based on a prompt that our group was given. We first went through a TOPES plan framework and then transformed it into a mind mup. We then had all our ideas ready for us to write a Narrative story.

Kanoa Lloyd

Today in Duffy Assembly I received the opportunity to meet Kanoa Lloyd. I have known Kanoa Lloyd since she was on sticky TV a long time ago and I used to watch her daily, you could hear her voice through the radio and know she is apart of the 3 news crew. In assembly she was talking about her favorite books which she will cherish forever. She had found a book witch was worth over $100 and she found it for $3 at the op-shop! She was a very inspiring person and I am so lucky to have had an opportunity to meet her.

Statue of Librety - Homework Week 10


This is week 10's homework. Our task was to find out about the Statue of Liberty. This week I worked on my own as my partner was busy completing something else. I had a lot of fun completing homework this week and hope I will get to visit the Statue of Liberty when I am older. It was very interesting to see the construction photos of the Statue of Liberty and one of the facts I was mostly interested by was how Statue of Liberty is closer to New Jersey and New Jersey hasn't claimed that it's their's!

Authors purpose - Nobody laughed

In class today I had finished all my work so I decided to complete a can do activity. The activity I choose was what was the Authors purpose in the story you read this week.

Nobody Laughed


This google drawing is about The story Nobody Laughed. I have summarized the story and broken into the parts it fits into in the narrative writing structure.

Quick writes with Manu



Her first instinct was to scream. This, as it turned out, had been a very bad idea. “I told you not to scream, now look they’re chasing us” Said Manu. They were in the bushes hiding away from the hungry pack of wolves, frightened at the sight of their feisty eyes.

The wind howled through the window. The girl sat huddling her knees waiting for the storm to be over.”Why did this have the one day that I’m alone in the house”. The wind slammed the windows open, frightened at the scene of lightning tears trembled down the little girl's face.

Jack had seen enough. Shutting his eyes he tried to block out the fire that was destroying the city. Ahead of him he could hear wails of mothers protecting their kids.  He was petrified of opening his eyes and looking at what the city had become. Since childhood he remembered running down the street with his kite flying high...
This is a Quick Write I collaborated with my partner Manu. In each box it has different prompts. The Highlighted parts are our prompts and then we have to carry on the story and have to complete it in five minutes. I had a lot of fun collaborating with Manu on this task because we could use our imagination!

Mind Mup - Writing Prompt

This Mind Mup is based around TOPES a narrative writing structure.It is my plan for the story I'm about to write. The website I used ( Mind Mup ) helped me because it was easy to use. Our writing group teacher Mrs.Donaldson gave us a picture of Daniel Craig running through traffic with a suite on. Everybody in our group had great ideas to share and they were all different.
