Blasting Billionaire boy review

 W.A.L.T. write a book review.

For a book review contest with $1000 dollars worth of prizes, Room 2 decided to make a book review about Billionaire Boy by David Walliams. Here's the review:

Blasting Billionaire boy

‘Have you ever thought about what it would be like to have a million dollars? Or a billion? Maybe even a

trillion dollars? Meet Joe Spud’.

David Walliams is a bestselling famous author. Billionaire Boy is just one of his many, many famous

books. David Walliams is 49 years old and was born on 20th August 1971 in Merton, London.Tony Ross is the illustrator of many of David Walliams' books. Billionaire Boy is just one of

the books that Tony Ross illustrated.

Billionaire Boy kicks off with a boy named Joe who is a billionaire who doesn’t like his school for rich

children.  He moves to the local school that is less rich and more like the average school with two goals

in his mind: make a real friend and hide his billionaire status. He makes a friend named

Bob and then Joe stops being friends with Bob because Joe was paying some bullies to be nice to him.

Joe’s personality is laid back, lazy and a little bit suspecting but then later changes as the

book goes on. Joe is not very athletic and not very fit, fast or strong. I felt awesome about

Joe because he is using his money to help others.

One thing that Mr Spud figured out was a new type of toilet paper which let him and his son

Joe become super rich.

I really enjoyed this book and rated it 4.5 stars. This book is good for all ages, mostly for 8 to 13.

I would definitely recommend this book because it’s fun to read and a reasonable amount of

challenge with lots of pages for you to appreciate. I definitely would show it to my friends.

In conclusion, Billionaire boy is a must read book by an inspiring cool author.

Show not tell

 

The tell for them is this :

Where is Syria?

 W.A.L.T. Understand where Syria is.

In Room 2 for Inquiry about refugees we had to search on google maps where Syria is, the countries around it and we marked Syria's capital and Homs. Me and Quinn made a slideshow about it so here it is.

W.A.L.T Critically analyse how authors use descriptive language and figurative language to create mood and atmosphere.

I had to make a story out of some words that were already written and here it is!

I know, it's a little bit dark but that's to set the mood so yeah.

Venn diagram about poems

 W.A.L.T. Critically analyse two poems.

These are two poems for this blog post and I made a Venn diagram for what's similar and what's different.

Here are the poems and the Venn diagram.

HOME TIME by Michael Hall

My brother in grey school shorts, 

shirt, pack on his back, 

bare feet, 

splashing the dull sky. 

Approaching each 

puddle 

on his path

as if the world has been transformed

by the rain. 

As if he needs to explore 

its strangeness 

again with a kind of 

jump 

as if walking on the moon. 

Trustworthy animation

 W.A.L.T. Show the virtue of being trustworthy.

Me and Kalem Made a animation on being trustworthy. It's about a cookie jar and a person.

Autumn Leaves

W.A.L.T. Write Haiku's.

Today me and the rest of Room 2 wrote Haiku's. A Haiku has to have 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second and 5 in the third and final line.

This is my Haiku:

Amber leaves fall down,

Sticks underfoot crunch like fire,

We finished our walk.

2 days ago we went out for a walk around the domain to look at the leaves and write down notes. I wrote a Haiku out of my notes but only kept the last line that you saw in my Haiku.
