Space

This week I learned that the moon is actually one big rock, created from lots of smaller rocks. From Earth we only ever see one side of the moon. On that side there are marks that end up looking like a bunny (but Frances thinks it looks like a sheep).

I also learned that in space asteroids and other flying stuff bash into planets and create dents.

I Am Number 4 Book Review

I Am Number 4
Pittacus Lore

John and his guardian Cepan Henry, came to earth after a race of aliens called Mogadorians destroyed their planet Lorien. All of the 9 children that came to earth, were linked together so that they could only be killed in order of 1 – 9.



In the beginning we were a group of nine.
Three are gone, dead.
There are six of us left.
They are hunting us, and they won’t stop until they’ve killed us all.
I am Number Four.
I know that I am next.


John and Henry moved to Paradise, Ohio to try keep discreet and have a low profile. But John starts attracting attention as he gets on the bad sides of bullies and shows his true self to friends. And when John starts forming his Legacies, it doesn’t help him at all.


I take a deep breath and exhale. “I understand what is happening, but why this?”
“Your first Legacy.”
“I know that, but why the lights?”
“We’ll talk about it in the truck. Can you walk?”
“I think so.”
He helps me up. I am unsteady, still shaking. I grab hold of his forearm for support.


The Mogadorians are getting closer and John is becoming more vulnerable. Will he choose his friends over himself?
I Am Number 4 is an action, mystery book with a hint of romance. I strongly recommend it for people age 12 +.

Art!


Tree Art

Lately in class, I have been doing art. I have made a leaf print picture and I have also made a autumn tree picture. I made a purple background then painted a black tree trunk with water colours. With a straw I made the branches of the tree. I stuck on paper cuttings with a gluey thing. This is the end product!
