Reading, then talking and eating.

The wind singer had is ups and downs we all agreed. you see, I was reading it as a book for the class book groups. I found reading it in a group was more enjoyable than reading it alone, though it was frustrating only been able to read a bit at a time.
I think we had good conversations. My group tended to argue on most subjects, especially Mompu been the worst character ever invented! Why was he evan in the story?He's so annoying!! Anyway, the book group went really well and everything worked nicely. Everything that is except the amount of food. It started off well but..........
Lets just say we do not need 5 people bringing food, certain people. (And certain people, you know who you are).
As well as enjoying then, I think I benefited from the book groups. they help you to look more deeply at the book and really think about what you're reading. Not that I don't do that already (nod, nod).

pony pals

When I was little I read, no doubt like many other little girls round the globe, the pony pals. It was pretty much about 3 girls, Lulu, Anna and Pam. The each had a pony (Anna-Acorn, Lulu-Snow White, Pam- Lightning) and their back yards were connected by a trail they called the pony pal trail. They lived in a town called Wiggins somewhere in america- I think the Northern State? and have all these adventures. They were 2 really mean boys and this artist who lived in these massive estate which is like one of the main settings in lot of the books. Anna mother owns a diner which also comes up a lot.


Were  a pony pal reader? If so did you have lots of the books? I had about 25.

Castle point


This school holidays my family visited castle point. Our cabin was tiny! It was about the size of my mum's and dad's room, and we all needed to share it. The beach was  beautiful though. It was really wild and rugged and there was a big sand dune close to where we were staying. I walked up it about 4 or 5 times. It was really tiring. On the second day we walked up to the lighthouse. We went for a walk the next day to deliverance cove, witch was really pretty and we took lots of photos. We went down to the beach on a track with really pretty views witch circled round the cove and went back across the beach.
