book reveiw

                               Mr  Stink.

   I read the book Mr Stink

its a very silly book/story it is heartwarming its about this little girl called Chloe Chloe is lonely and at school this girl called Rosamund bullies her she even once stuck a sign to her back saying 'LOSER' but anyway lets get to her family her dad is like the only one who gets her her mother well she all she cares about is her and her little daughter Annabelle Annabelle and her mother are very posh people they sit on special plastic mats on the couch I know right how crazy is that?
but Chloe was walking Monday and she got up the courage that day to talk to the local tramp "Mr stink', although he was smelly Chloe was still his friend but one day her mum ran to be the local mp she had many rules but the very last rule affected Mr stink it read all tramps are to get off out streets and into another town streets but Chloe lied to me stink and said " hey! my parents said it would be absolutely fine if you come and live in our shed!" in which they definitely did not say they said the opposite! oh well, thank you! mrs Chloe, he announced. one day he asked for breakfast she was waiting one hour as this was the day her mum had the local newspapers around to interview her during breakfast  so not knowing her parents did not know he came to the kitchen window and asked for his breakfast the new paper guy said wow Mrs crumb  when you said to get all the tramps off the streets we did not know we meant to invite them into our homes! how generous are you to let this tramp stay with your family she took it like she knew exactly why she was here after they were all gone Chloe got up the courage to yell at her mum I took my stink here and you're taking all my work!. so whenever Mrs crumb was around people she acted like she was Mr stinks' best friend then whenever she was not around anyone else around that is except her family she treated Mr stink like you know she was the evil stepmother from Cinderella. well, I rate this book a 10/10.
thanks for reading

coasteering

   have you ever had the felling that your body is going to turn inside out no? well theres one word for it is horrible.        Well coasteering is when you go down a very steep hill and then you sit down on a log by the water. You get the instructions and then you get to go around on a 2 minute walk across rocks to get to a less rough area. Then we went into the water and clinged arms together and went back into the water and did an american hot tub. Then went on like a 7 minute walk around and went past heaps of rock pools. Then to get to the little island sort of thing you did a small jump to get onto an island sort of thing and did a jump off the highest point of the island sort of thing which was like 10-12 meters high!.Well i did it and i got out with no cuts from barnacels.my reflection and next step: my next step is using punctuation  

ashleigh week 4 reflection

Tōtara Weekly Reflection

Term: 1 Week:4

Something I am proud of from camp … doing the giant swing because I thought it was going to be very nerve racking but instead i was still nerve racking but not as much I thought I was going to be because I really liked it and it was very very fun.

A highlight from camp for me was … coaststeering because we jumped into the water twice one small one and one big one the small one was like a meter off the water and the second one was around four meters off the ground.

What challenged me over last two weeks? Doing my work on time I have been doing well with it but i think i'm going to use some of my totara token to get it all done.

How did I overcome these challenges or what do I need to do to overcome them in the future? Use my time wisely and be sensible about what I do in  my work time so I get it done in the right time space.

This fortnights Tōtara goal was active listening and I achieved/showed this by… not looking away at the teachers at al times and not listening to someone else when the teacher is talking, I have been showing this by looking down at the ground and just concentrating on listening to the teachers

Next week I would like to achieve in class is ….to not talk to my friends all the time and get my work done and if maddison asks me how word are spelt i'm going to challenge her and only give her a couple of answers.
