clockwork review



Suspense was almost on every page and it helped keep the book flowing. An example of suspense is when Sir Ironsoul approaches Gretel in an attempt to kill her.

The evil wasn’t proper evil it was more unnatural evil like when Prince Otto cuts out his heart and places it in the clockwork machine to keep his family dynasty going.

There was one major part of horror, that’s where the Baron sacrifices himself by jumping out of the sled right into a pack of blood thirsty wolves so Prince Otto and the clockwork machine can flee.

Last week 0ur monthly totara trading was on. I'm in a group with Quinn, Lachie, Ronan and Max we hauled in so much money that money box is over flowing, we decided next time we are going to by out all the stores possible and just pig out. Our stall was called Ultimate food, we had the most variety out of all the stalls and we earned the most.

speechs

Term 3 of school is based around speeches. We've only got to do 3 findouts this term instead of 4 because our speech counted as 1. The speech regionals are coming up so Jonathan wants us to do our complete best. Mines on cricket which was fairly easy since I know quite a lot about cricket and I play.

Ski trip

The totara syndicate is deciding if not to go skiing at rainbow ski field on September. All the kids are hoping and praying that we would go skiing. Me I'm one of those kids hoping and praying that we can. Last year I went skiing as a year 5 and I got kicked off the intermediate slope because I crashed into the pulley line.

Rich task

We just finished our 3rd or 4Th rich task this one was on forces and how they act. I did one on a ballista which worked well when it didn't glitch. The presentation was really easy since I knew a lot about it, it was pretty informative considering I made it in half an hour.

rugby rep trials

On Sunday a few chosen players got to go to the rugby rep trials and trials for the nelson city rep team. We spent 1 hour doing ball skills and then we split up into two teams and played a 45 minute game of rugby which was had and fun at the same time. After I was really tired and hungry because it was past lunch time. I got maccas for lunch which was really nice because of my deprived taste buds.
