  14. Jacob sharp says:

    I like ‘Wind in the Willows’ I am reading this with my Daddy at bedtime . It is a chapter book and it has lots of different animals on the boat, like the Rat , Mole and the Otter and some birds. They sailed across the deep calm water to get to Mister Badger’s house.

    I like ‘Peter Rabbit’ because he gets stuck in a net with radishes that he likes. He escapes Farmer McGregor , who eats animals. I like radishes with my salad and hot dogs.

    I like ‘Zippel the little keyhole ghost’ Because he lives in Key holes
    And he is cheeky chap.

  15. Miss Travers says:

    I love Wind in the Willows. I remember reading that when I was a child too! I also love Peter Rabbit!

  16. I also read Rosie Revere Engineer. It was all about engineering and Rosie always made new things out of rubbish which is good because you shouldn’t throw things away if you can use them.

    Red PLANET IS THE TITLE of book i read. Wilf and Chip played on a rocket and pretended to be spacemen. The magic key glowed it took them into a new adventure. They went to space and found some aliens, they were inside a big cave on the red planet. Everyone was stuck in the cave. They were going to get a spacesuit and fill it with air so they could float out back to the rocket.

    Then they went home. Floppy didn’t like the magical adventure .because he was too scared.

  25. Miss Travers says:

    That sounds an excellent book, Jacob! You have retold the story so well! What book are you going to read next?

  26. Rudolph Jacob says:

    Red Planet is the title of the book I have read.

    Will and Chip made a rocket ship out of bits and pieces. Nadim came with his computer he wanted to play in the rocket.

    The magic key glowed and took them to a real rocket ship. They ran inside.

    They found aliens in a cave on a red planet. Everyone was stuck in the cave. The children filled a spacesuit with lots of air so they could float back to the rocket. Floppy was scared but they all got home safely.

  27. Miss Travers says:

    I’m glad Floppy got home safely!

  28. Today I read the Egyptian Adventure and I saw that pharaoh thought that Floppy was important.

    You can see the author, Nick Cope, reading it on YouTube. Ask your grown up to help you find it.
    Keep up all the reading.

  33. Rudolph Jacob says:

    I am going to read to morow The long journey. I will use a different name because I am a secret spy .

  34. Miss Travers says:

  35. Hello Miss Travers, my next book will be Alien Adventures Fact File and Cebolinha by Mauricio de Sousa from Brazil.

  36. Miss Travers says:

    Hello Mateus! I’m glad you’re still reading! You will have to tell me all about the books! I’m excited to hear what they are about!

  37. Gabrielle says:

    I am currently reading Modern Day Explorer. The story is about flying hot-air balloons but it is difficult and dangerous. At his fourth attempt in 1998, Steve Fossett managed to travel 22,908kms, which was a world record. Unfortunately he failed to go all around the world. At his seventh attempt, in 2002, Steve Fossett successfully achieved his goal to fly solo all around the world. It took him 324 hours, 16 minutes and 13 seconds. I think I would be too scared to fly in a hot-air balloon!
    I have also read Brutus. Brutus is the story of a country dog who has to go and live in the city because his masters live there. He is a very cheeky dog and he ultimately get used to the life in the city and reunite with his masters.

  38. Miss Travers says:

    That’s amazing that he went all around the world in a hot air balloon!
    Excellent reading, Gabrielle! You sound like you are reading lots of different books too! I’m excited to hear about your next book!

  39. Today I read The Crazy Christmas by Mauricio de Sousa and a boy called Crazy guy said “it was Mother’s Day” and then Cebolinha said “it’s not Mother’s Day” and Crazy told Cebolinha that it was Father’s Day and the boy said it was Kids’s Day and again Crazy said it was Carnival. After Cebolinha said “today is not Carnival”. Finally Cebolinha’s mum came and all of people inside his house disappeared. After that Santa gave Crazy guy a crazy present.

  40. Miss Travers says:

    That sounds a good book, Mateus.
    What was the present?

  41. Flash Banana Boy says:

    The Long journey was about a family going on holiday . They forgot to pack their food and clothes so when they arrived in Devon they didn’t find any food or suitcases in the car.

    The car had run out of petrol so they couldn’t go home. But Grandad arrived at the cottage with all their food and cases so he was the superhero.

    The funniest part was that Kerry had a choc ice for breakfast.

  42. Miss Travers says:

    That sounds a good book! They sound very forgetful! I’m glad Grandad arrived! What would they do without any food or clothes!

  43. Very important things

    For little learners who want to know everything

    I like this book because it is tells me everything about the world and animals and VOLCANOES.
    Fact:The world is made out of puzzle pieces When the puzzle pieces move apart, there might be a volcano or an earthquake. It can be dangerous. ?

  50. Hello Miss Travers.

    The ‘Ugly Five’ were animals who lived on the savannah who thought they were ugly. They were the Lappet Faced Vulture, Spotted Hyena, Wildebeest, Marabou Stolk and the WaterHog. They sang a song ‘ we are the ugly five’.

    Their babies thought they were not ugly but they were good , brilliant, nice and beautiful creatures, because they fed them and when they were in a bad mood they cuddled them and sang them songs.

    Their are 5 lists of animals., the big five, the little five , the shy five and the ugly five.

    Fox went to find star, he asked the trees, the rain, the rabbits and the beetles. They said look up at the sky. He saw lots of stars and he found one of his very own. This made him happy.

  95. Hello Miss Travers,

    Today I have read:

    Ocean Adventure – true stories- the story of Joshua Slocum by Paul May.

    This is one of my school reading books and I found it very interesting about Joshua Slocums trip the whole way around the world by himself in 1895. He had a ship called the Spray. He sailed from Boston USA. He felt lonely, but made himself feel better by singing and looking at turtles in the water. He found an island called Horta, the people gave him plums and cheese to eat. He had a sore tummy afterwards. For 3 days he was very sick and couldn’t sail. He thought he saw a ghostly sailor steering the ship. When he was well the sailor had gone. Next he went to Gibraltar. The people told him to be aware of pirates, but they found him and were about to get him when a huge wave crashed on them. Next he went to Brazil, Cape Horn and Australia. In St Helena he took a goat on his ship for company as he was so lonely. He was was very silly as the goat ate his hat, sails, ropes and the charts! He had to remember the way back home without his charts. He got back home and was very happy as he had been away 3 years and 2 months. He had sailed 46,000 miles. I loved his adventure and thought he was very brave going by himself.

  96. Miss Travers says:

    What an excellent, detailed book review! Well done!

  97. Miss Travers says:

    Hello Year 1,

  101. Hi, Miss Travers!
    Today I read two books. Their names are “Submarine Adventure” and “The Smeds and the Smoos”.
    Those book are very funny and they gave me a lot of ideas to make my very own book. I like books that are fun to read.
    My favourite part of the “Submarine Adventure” was at the end when Wilma said she wanted to go home for some tea and Wild understood that she wanted to go back to the sea.
    My favourite part of “The Smeds and the Smoos” was when they all played and sang a song together at the end. The song was calm and lovely and I like that they became all friends.

  102. Miss Travers says:

    Hi Camila, thank you for the book reviews! They sound great books! I haven’t read ‘The Smeds and the Smoos’ yet but I really want to!

    Sea Poems chosen by John Foster- Oxford Reading Tree- Glow worms (school reading book).

    I really loved this book. It has 11 poems. It is also the same as our class topic the seaside. My favourite poem was ‘A week of August weather’. Some poems were funny and some sad, but with lots of beautiful pictures.

    The Litter Queen- Oxford Reading Tree (school reading book).

    Wilf and Wilma’s mum and dad took some children for a picnic. That night the magic key took Chip to the Litter Queen’s palace. It was a very scary adventure as the Queen and her workers were spreading litter all over the parks and countryside and they told Chip he had to do it too. He was very happy to wake up!

    Green Island- Oxford Reading Tree (school reading book).

    Mr Johnson took his class away for a week. Chip and Anneena found a seagull that couldn’t fly because it had oil on its wings and an injured sea otter. On Green Island four people had been dumping toxic waste and it was hurting the sea creatures. Mrs Honey called the police and the bad people got taken away.

    Good Afternoon Miss Travers.

    Thank you for suggesting Slime by David Williams for me to read. I finished it yesterday.

    Slime is a creature invented by a boy called Ned who lives on the Island of mulch. Slime is yellow and slimy and he can fly. He is naughty but nice to everyone, except the bad people who live on the Island. Ned’s legs don’t work so he moves around in his wheelchair.

    Slime tries to defeat all of the bad people that are living on the Island of Mulch with Ned. These bad people are bad because they are not nice to the children that live on the Island. For example, Glen and Glenda Glutton pretend to sell ice cream to the children, but they actually just take the children’s money and then eat the ice cream themselves.

    The hardest bad person to defeat is Aunt Greta who does not like people and has 101 cats who are her only friends. The cats attack Ned and Slime, but the cats are no match for Slime and Ned.

    Jemima is Ned’s big sister and she plays tricks on Ned, but when Ned leaves her for a whole day, Jemima starts missing Ned and starts to cry.

    Finally at the end of the story, Jemima becomes a nice little girl and Ned,Slime and Jemima ride on Slime all around the Island Of Mulch. When they land Slime breaks up into tiny little pieces and leaves Ned to go and help other children.

    Jemima and Ned then go and play on the Island of Mulch together as friends and then they both say “We’ve got the Zoomies”.

    I enjoyed reading this book because it was funny and it was an adventure story.

  122. Miss Travers says:

    Dear Miss Travers and Miss Lee. (Oxford Reading Tree stage 10)

    Last week I read Beyond The Door with Biff Chip and Kipper.

    At the school fair Nadim buys a box that had the magic key in it . A man white man try’s to steal the box from Nadim but he doesn’t let him and he ran away with the box and all of his friends. They went through a door and then they went through another door. When they looked through the door they saw all the things they had seen and travelled in in the other magic key adventures including the Rainbow Machine.

    In the centre of the room there was a rocket . As they went back in the hallway a man ran through the door it looks like Mr Mortlock but it wasn’t . He had a long white hair and he was a time guardian called Mortlock.

    I will read the next bit in the next book.

    Yesterday I read The Jewel in the Hub.

    Wilf went spinning back in time.He met a boy called Leo and then they sneak into a building and that’s where the Jewel is. The Jewel is called the blue eye. Two men called Virans try to steal The Hub from them so Leo threw The Hub off a cliff. Luckily the The Hub has a parachute on it so it had a safe landing. They went down to get my friend down as well they were trapped in the building for ages and it will sound the door will wait goodbye to Leo.
