Book Report On Monsters Unleashed!

I think that Monsters Unleashed is a good book because

All the Characters have good details and the Monsters too!

So the monsters try to stop these things called Entomons and the monsters names are Mega-Q, Kraydon, Oddo, Yapzilla and Mungo.

The main characters are Freddie, Trevor, Jordan, Manny,

Nina and Quincy.

So what Freddie and his friends try to stop Entomons because the Entomons would eat the whole world!

First Week Back

This week we have done a lot of things. One of the things we have done is set up our novel contract. Our novel contract is when we  predict about a book read it, and summarise each chapter. We also have to decorate it and do activities about it.

Another thing we have done is started practising for the Winter Tournament. The winter tournament is in Week 4 and everybody is doing either netball, rugby or soccer/football. we practise on 

Wednesdays and Fridays from 12pm to 12.30pm. 
Something else we have done is start doing our topic, what it is to be healthy we have done a Y chart about what it looks, sounds like and feels like to be healthy and a pie graph explaining how much time we spend doing things each day and how we could increase our time doing the healthy things and reduce our time doing the less healthy things.
