Under the mountain is a story about twins called Rachel and Theo Matheson going to their Aunt and Uncle's house.

Everyone goes to Mount Eden for a bit then Rachel and Theo see old Mr Jones. Mr Jones is no ordinary old man he's from another world literally,Mr Jones is a creature from a different planet brought here to save the world from the wilberforces turning it into mud,Mr Jones becomes good friend with Rachel and Theo

Then teaches them how to use the only thing that can stop the wilberforces the stones. Rachel manages to master her stone but Theo struggles.Mr Wilberforce almost killed Rachel but if it wasn't for Mr Jones she would have died but she didn’t because Mr Jones saved her by grabbing her wrist and heating her whole body up so Mr Wilberforce had thought that she was dead. Rachel, Theo and Mr Jones climbed up Mount Rangitoto then up Mount Eden so they could destroy the wilberforces. Rachel and Theo put their stones in the craters on the mountains so that the wilberforces turned to ashes.

I recommend this book to people who like drama,sad and adventure books.

A book review by Nareise

Holes is a very active book by Louis Sachar published in 2006.

This book explains why you should get prof about something.  Holes is a book about Stanley Yelnats and his story about living at camp green lake for a couple of months digging holes.  Louis’s story teaches kids about good behaviour and to not always be greedy.

One very hot day at Camp Green Lake a new arrival came, his name was Stanley Yelnats.

He was quite a chubby kid but he knew he would burn some calories coming here.At Camp Green Lake the warden made the campers dig holes, all day. You may be wondering why would someone do such an awful thing like that to poor children, well apparently they dig holes to build character but it is just to find the treasure that Katherine Barlow buried.

Stanley always wondered why this kid zero was here.

One day Zero said to Stanley while he was writing a letter to his mum “How do you do that?” “Do what??” Stanley replied “Write” said Zero “I Will Teach you how” said Stanley

On another really sunny day Stanley got in trouble for teaching zero how to write. Zero knew it was all his fault so he ran away.

For the next couple of days Stanley was planning how to go after Zero with food and water, one day he decided his plan had to commence. He hopped in the water truck and tried to drive away but it landed in a hole so that didn't work, so he ran and ran eventually he found zero and carried him up the hill that big thumb was on. They found onions and ate them all then then decided to go back to camp to find food and water and get the treasure. Eventually they dug it up and just they were about to go stop some one shouted at them “That's mine” they knew it was the warden but then a car pulled up “It's your lawyer Stanley” Zero and Stanley just stood there, soon they got covered in yellow spotted lizards but they ran away as the sun came up. Zero was holding the treasure “But it is Stanley’s.” There in big bold letters said Stanley Yelnats. He gave the treasure to Stanley and together they left with Stanley’s lawyer and lived happily ever after.

In conclusion I think that this story is very interesting and I would recommend it to people who like anti climaxes. Well this is my review on Holes, goodbye.

Dear Olympic Committee,

Welcome to armadillo bowling. Our reasons for this are they will be exercised , they will be more than pets and who doesn’t want to see some furry fails.  In my opinion it will be amazing!

So let’s talk about how they will be exercised, they are rolling round and sometimes armadillos can get a bit fat, hehe.  So do you think they should be fat because sometimes that can be life threatening.  

Now how they will be more than pets, don’t you want a pet that's more than a pet.  The whole world will know who they are!  Some people have dogs and cats as a pet but you might have an armadillo that is rich and famous.  

Finally, the funny fails, who doesn’t want to see some funny fails.  The armadillo might roll onto another track or go halfway and then walk back, that would be hilarious!  

So today I have talked to you about how they will be exercised, how they will be more than pets and the funny fails.  So thank you for spending your time reading my letter.  I hope you consider armadillo bowling.  Remember, this will change the Olympics.

Sincerely from

Nareise Bezett

An amazing story written and told by Lorelai

Wolves!

Wolves are wild mammals, and live in the forest and mountains. They are my favorite animals, and they can be so cute! Here’s what I mean by cute:

Aren’t they just adorable? Some breeds of wolves include the timber wolf, the arctic wolf, and the endangered red wolf. Sadly, there are only about 500 red wolves left in the wild. The most common fur tone is grey, followed by brown, then white and finally reddish-brown. Here are some fun facts about wolves. When a female wolf is pregnant with pups, other wolves bring her food into the female’s den. Here’s another one, wolves howl to packs to warn them to not go in their territory. Here is some pictures of a wolf howling.

Wolves eat caribou, deer, sheep, and lots of other animals. After pups have finished drinking their mother’s milk, they start hunting small animals like mice and frogs. Did you know it takes about 4-7 wolves to chase down a full grown caribou? Farmers hate wolves because they eat their sheep. People also kill wolves for their fur. I hate wolf hunters. Packs hunt together, and it’s heaven when they see a herd of deer.

By Lorelai

The wolf's eyes are as red as a ruby.

His distinctive fur is gloomy even he when he's in the sunlight. He has a wet nose that can help find things from miles away.

The wolf is as dark and evil as a black hole. He is an ignorant aggravating devil. His tiny black heart is persuasive

like a bug because he's always sticking around.

The stray wolf sneaks around leaving no trace . The red eyed devil blackmails his prey. He stalks his prey leaving no corner untraced.
