NICOLE EVERDEEN


Today I styled my hair in the way that Katniss Everdeen did while she was in the Hunger Games. I will  be carrying out this hairstyle for the next two days as well as Book Character Day.  This year I will be going as Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire

Who is your favourite Hunger Games person? 

If you haven't noticed my favourite character is Katniss Everdeen. 

Jacqueline Wilson Mini Bibliography


Mini Bibliography 

Jacqueline Wilson was born on the 17th of December 1945 in Bath,  England but grew up in Kingston. When she was seven years old she was an imaginative child who enjoyed both reading and inventing stories.  She was never a fan of mathematics and always stared out the window thinking of ideas for new stories.  Her imagination has helped her to sell over 30 million of her books. Four of her books have made the top 100 most popular books in Britain. She is also famous for her series of Tracy Beaker.  She writes novels for all ages and has a excellent humour in her writing.

The best part of her books are always the ending. She would always make sure you can find a way out of everything. "I try to have reasonably happy endings because I would hate any child to be cast down in gloom and despair; I want to show them you can find a way out of it"

My favourite book that I have read by Jacqueline Wilson is called Cliff Hanger. Its about a boy who hates sports but his parents force him to go on a adventure camp. He is terrible at sports and everybody teases him but in the end he become a hero. If you want to find out more then she should read the book. This is my favourite author and I hope one day she'll be yours as well.

Hunger Games Book Review


The Hunger Games


Cover of the novel, showing the title in white text on a black and grey background, above a depiction of a gold pin featuring a bird in flight, its wings spread and an arrow clasped in its beak.North America has been destroyed and is now run by the powerful Capital and is divided into 12 districts (district 13 has been destroyed due to a rebellion). In district 12 is the main character Katniss Everdeen, a 16 year old girl, who lives with her younger sister Prim and their widowed mother. In order to keep the 12 districts aware of who runs the county, the Capital arranges a game to the death each year in an arena. Each district holds a drawing of one boy and one girl to go as tributes. When Prim Rose Everdeen gets picked, Katniss her sister volunteer as tribute which means ro take her spot in the games. Along with Katniss comes also Peeta, the baker’s son, who grew up with her.


Katniss and Peeta must fend for themselves against natural elements, the Gamemakers and the other contestants whose only option is to kill or be killed.  The mystery lies behind the games and there can only be one winner. Who will it be?

This book has an amazing story line and is recommend for young readers as well as adults. It has a hint of romance and has a big adventure awaiting for you. This is by far my favourite book I have read and I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I did. May the Hunger Games be ever in your favour.

Fireworks!!!!!!


  
GUY FAWKES DAY

Why have fireworks on the day where someone was going to blow up a building and kill thousands of people. Why do we need to remember this memory every year when we can just save the fireworks for my birthday. This might sound greedy having fireworks on my birthday but wouldn’t you rather celebrate a day that’s special to someone then celebrating a day that a man almost killed people.  Think about it. Every year maybe if you have done something significance to your county you could have fireworks on your birthday. Even the soldiers that have fought in the wars for us. We can remember them by fireworks.  

Imagine you have got a gold medal for doing extremely well or you’re the student of the year. They ask for your birthday and you celebrate with fireworks. How cool would that be. Obviously there are heaps of people in New Zealand but then you can achieve a goal by getting your name printed in the sky.   

If you got your name printed in the sky what do you think you would we recognized for. What would you have done?
