ANH DO WEIRDO 11 SPLASHY WEIRD

 ANH DO WEIRDO 11 SPLASHY WEIRD


Introduction: 

ANH DO WEIRDO  is a comedy because the book talks about funny things but in this book it is talking about splashy weird things. It's about where there's a school swimming carnival. Weirdo enters in a lot of things like the butterfly, backstroke, diving board and doggy paddler. I like the book because it's very interesting and funny.


Characters: 

The characters in this book are Weir and his family and friends like Bella, Henry,Toby roger and hansom but Weir is the main character in this book.



What reading strategies:

What were the most helpful strategies?


When I was reading this book the pictures helped me tell the text as well as the words were helping me tell this book because there were words that were helping me tell parts of the text. 


-The pictures so that I knew what they were talking about.

-also the pictures can help me with the text and its telling parts about the text

-The words that words are describing the pictures 


My paragraph


The day had finally come. That day had come, Weirdo was dreading it for week’s. Everyone was so excited. Bella is good at freestyle. Roger can’t wait to cheer on the green team. Henry has been practising his backstrokes for week’s although Henry thought that backstrokes meant giving back scratches. Henry also thought that the butterfly meant who could race the fastest with wings. But now Henry knows how to do the real backstroke and the real butterfly. Toby is good at the diving board. But weirdo, he doesn't like any of it. 


But he’s been trying to come out of the swimming carnival. Weirdo said to his dad I have a terrible rash. There's no way that I can go to the swimming carnival tomorrow. His mum and dad sent me to bed early to rest but before having a bath my spots washed off. But mum caught him ‘’hey what happened to your spots.’’?

He took them, said Weirdo.  


This morning I tried something new. An ear infection, Mum somethings wrong with me, I'm really sick. But the granddad walked in. He came up to me and stuck his finger in my ear and pulled the gunk out and licked it! Gross, Ewe said his sister Delicious peppermint toothpaste said his granddad! The next day. Then Weir decided that he wasn't going to race but he still cheered on the green team. IT was so much fun everyone was dressed up in their team colours all of his friends were leading team colours. When weir was ready to go swimming in the races he got in and then he said it’s so cold. Then his friend Toby was going down the slide and then his pants fell down. Then Henry and weir were racing together because the others were already done so it was up to Henry and weir. They both leapt off the wall at the same time. But the others took off at the wrong time they went before the pistol went so they got disqualified.


After the school carnival Weir and his family went to their next door neighbours Bella and weir just wanted to walk because their house is right next door to them. But weir's dad wanted to drive because it was more Fancier but his next door neighbour saw them do u turns. And they thought it was so funny. They all had dinner together and then none of them wanted to do the dishwasher so they had to do a challenge where whoever dropped it first had to do the dishwasher.

I give this book a ten out of ten because I wouldn't change anything about this book

This is a great book because it has a lot of pictures and funny jokes.

Golden Girls

 I like that Macca knows for next time if someone treats him the way his mother did he knows what to do.

I do not like how this boy Macca has bad life and how his mother and step mother treated him.

Toppling

 This book is named Toppling, Toppling is a great book inspired for little kids going through tough things in life. Toppling was illustrated by Sally Murphy, an artist who likes to write about interesting and creative things. This book is about a little boy with a big addiction to Dominos, his family thinks it’s weird but he thinks it is a great thing to have in life. John collects all different kinds of dominos and builds all different courses to knock down just to hear the clack of every block one by one falling down. John collects all different sizes and colours of dominos, he has a tun of tubs under his bed full of them. He has a hard time at school but makes a friend named Dom. Dom always talks about all the good things he has and how his footy team is going really well, but he has cancer. Read Toppling to find out what happens to Dom and how John copes. This book is recommended for students in Year 5 and above. 


Over the past months this course has helped me in all different ways. It helped me be more confident with myself when reading out loud. It has helped me read more complicated books than I did before.

How to create a blogpost

Hi R3 Readers,

We would love to see each week what you have been reading for independent reading. Use the following instructions to help you post about your reading experiences onto our Book Babble blog.

This slideshow will show you how to post. Use the arrows to move through the slides if they move too fast!

We can't wait to read your posts!

Blogging Guidelines


Each week we would like you to post to this blog. Your audience is other students from your school's R3 group as well as some from other schools in the diocese. Your teacher and other R3 teachers will read and may comment on your blogs posts. It would be great if you could even comment on other students' posts.

What should we blog about?
  • Tell your readers about something you have been reading this week (either in the group or your own free choice reading).
  • Also share what you are learning about yourself as a reader and things you are working on to improve your reading.  


Expectations of your blog post:

Content
As others will be reading the blog it will be important that you think about/plan your post to ensure it makes sense and is interesting for the reader. You might consider including a photo of the text or even some video (where you might read a section of the text) to engage the audience. You might even like to upload an example of something you have done in response to your reading.
Length
A minimum of 2 paragraphs - one about what you are reading, and one focused on self-reflection and goal-setting
Structure
You might retell or summarise one of the texts that you have been reading, ensuring you include the title, author and important details. Your retell or summary could include facts you have learned (from non-fiction) or aspects of the plot that were significant (from fiction).
Your self reflection is a chance for you to stop and think about the skills and strategies you have been working on in the group, and how you feel you are going with these, and what you feel you need to do to further improve.
Surface Features
Before you publish your post, make sure you re-read it to check for good grammar, spelling and punctuation.
Privacy
As with all posting in online environments never reveal your surname or details like your phone number or address, and make sure that any photos or videos which you upload are not identifying you publicly. Take photos of book covers and consider using a voiceover, rather than adding a photo or video where the camera is pointing at you.

Scylla the Sea Monster

Scylla The Sea Monster is a myth from ancient Greece from thousands of years ago.  A myth is little bit like a fairy tale, however it explains why something happens. People often told myths because they didn't write their stories down, they passed them down through storytelling.

The story Scylla the sea monster is a story about a story based on a merman falling in love with a beautiful lady. So he went to Circe the sorceress and got a magic love potion. He poured the magic  potion in her bath and instead of loving her it turned her into an ugly sea monster and soon after Scylla turned to stone.

'My Sister Ate My Science Project'

I really enjoyed the whole story of 'My Sister Ate My Science Project', because it was really funny and it entertained me a lot. One of the parts in the story I liked, was when Alex gave Sassy a soda to deflate her. Another part I liked, was when Alex found some old food in the kitchen and old scraps in his school bag to make a science project and Sassy ate it. I thought it was really funny but gross at the same time, but I really enjoyed it.
