Library review

Library Review

The library is a wonderful place you can get books out or reserve them. Sue is a really nice person. You can ask her about books she will tell you in an instant about them or anything about the library. The library has non fiction and fiction, if you’re into Greek mythology I recommend the Percy Jackson series. If you are into adventure and mysteries I recommend the 39 clues series. You could do your library award (ask Sue for information) you can do a quiz or check out the library blog. It’s quiet and peaceful if you make noise or play games and don’t do what your meant to you will be kicked out. There is a lot of nice art work and pictures on the walls.

Come to the library and have a look around it’s a great place to be.

Henry B

The library is open on Monday to Wednesday from 1 pm at lunch time

Or you can come with your class.

Molly's Book Review

The Hunger Games
By Suzanne Collins

This book is the first of a three book series: The Hunger Games, The Hunger Games Catching Fire and The Hunger Games Mocking Jay. This book is set in the future in a country called Panem which used to be North America. There are twelve districts and then ‘The Capitol’. Originally there where thirteen districts though in a battle against ‘The Capitol’ district thirteen was destroyed. It is about a girl called Katniss Everdeen and her sister Primrose Everdeen. The Hunger Games is a terrifying reality show where twelve boys and twelve girls are picked out randomly from a large glass ball-one girl and one girl from each district. When you turn 12 your name is instantly put in once to the ball. Each year your name is added one more time until you turn eighteen and are too old to compete any longer. When Primrose is picked out, Katniss volunteers to take her place.

I like this book because it is full of action and adventure. I would recommend this book to any one that enjoys action-packed books.

Kobe's Book Review!!!

Kobe Luke who is on her Bronze award has written this Book report on a book called Matilda By Roald Dahl.




Matilda is a little girl who lives in a world of her own and finds out that she was adopted and is now living with her step-father,mother and brother.Her mum and dad start her in a new school and she meets mrs truncbull the principal.And her and her teacher (miss honey) play tricks on Mrs trunchbull.



I reccomend this book for people that like funny, interesting stories. I think that younger people from the age of 7 to 12 would enjoy this exciting outgoing and funny book. I would rate it 7/10.
