OIS Reading Log Blog

Welcome to the first of many posts that are posted by other students, not Bloggers – in their class. Although I’m a blogger.

I’m going to review Castaway -

This is a book that is all about the southern seas. A 13 year old boy goes in search of his brother who works with ships.  In Sydney he joins the Dundonald and in a major storm Disaster of worst comes…..

This is a great book I really enjoyed it. This tells you about the life of Roald Dahl. Inclueding the Disasters with the movies and the Script writing for James Bond movie.
He has such an awesome life.

I enjoyed this book because Roald Dahl is one of my favourite authors. I found out some information about Roald Dahl that I didn’t know.
I really recommended that if you enjoy Roald Dahl’s books, read this book.

Gone green this time the hill they practise on maybe under threat and the chain gang is not happy because a property developer wants the land to build houses on it so they come up with ideas to stop them…

Sophie is an orphan. A lonesome little girl in an orphanage with an evil caregiver.

Until one night during witching hour, when no-one is supposed to be awake, little Sophie sees something she never expected. A 24 foot giant wandering the streets with what seems to be a soundless trumpet and a giant briefcase.

Sophie befriends this giant and goes to giant country with him. There are nine other gruesome giants who eat humans their names are-the Fleshlumpeater, The Bonecruncher, The Manhugger, The Childchewer, The Meatdripper, The Gizzardgulper, The Maidmasher, The Bloodbottler and The Butcher Boy.

Roald Dahl like you’ve never read before with an unexpected twist at the end. I recommend this book for people ages 6 to 17.

Harry is a condensed milk drinking pack horse that talks. Harry never seems to be doing any work. One of the things that Harry did stuck in my mind for ages, it’s when the outside dunny falls over and out comes Harry Wakatipu and five hundred and sixty thousand empty cans of condensed milk that were suppose to last Harry and his partner the whole year. This is a great book but can be a bit of a challenge to understand in places, so I recommend it to confident readers.

Witches are really quite evil creatures. All dressed up in fancy clothes disguised as innocent human women. DISGUSTING! When a Norwegian born English boy’s parents die, he is sent to live with his Norwegian grandmother, he was always fascinated by his grandmothers stories but the ones he loved most were the ones about the witches!
If you want to read grandmama’s stories then just get the book out of the library and dig in! I have read this book many times and recommend it for children aged 7-15.

Recently Mrs. Senior went to the New Zealand Reading Association Conference to share our reading log blog with other schools. Some schools thought it was such a good idea they’ve made their own. A few of these include;
