Mr Ducky

Patrick made a Ducky it looked like a penguin a bit. It took 2 days for him to build it, it looked REALLY hard to make, he thought it would be tricky to make feet so he put him in a cart and also put a top hat on the Ducky, he was named Mr Ducky. Linkin thought it looked cool so he put a flag on Mr Ducky.

Movie Review

My Movie Review  

                    

by Amelie James 

Room 3

Title:  Paper Planes

Movie Star Rating – 4 1/2 stars out of 5

Summary:  It’s about a boy called Dylan who practices a lot to be able to go to Sydney because he flew his paper plane 30 metres.  In Sydney he had to fly the plane all the way across a pool.  Because Dylan did that he got to go to Tokyo.  To get enough money to go to Tokyo Dylan and his Dad had a garage sale.  While the garage sale was happening Dylan’s teacher counted up the money and he only had half of what he needed.  But luckily his Grandpa came with some ladies from the rest home who brought some baking.  They sold all the baking and Dylan raised enough to go to Tokyo.  In Toyko Dylan and the other people who were there had to fly their plane across some lazer things and Dylan got his the furthest and won!

What I liked:  When Grandpa came with the ladies.

What I disliked:  When Jason pushed Dylan down the staircase.

My favourite part:  At the end when his Dad shows up unexpectedly.
