Diary Entry - The Mines Afire!

Diary Entry - The Mines Afire!

This week we have continued reading 'The Mines Afire!'. The task for this week was to pretend you were either a son, daughter, brother or sister of a miner who has unfortunately passed away from the mine and write a diary entry saying how your feeling, how your Ma is coping and what has happened the past view days. I chose to be a daughter from a family of 4 siblings and parents. I wrote about the explosion and then the funeral. Stella Addington is just a person I made up, she is not real. I had a lot of fun writing a diary entry and would like to write another one from a brothers perspective. Would you like to write a diary entry? Here is a link to my diary entry if you can't read it - Link.

The boy in the striped pyjamas 

This term for our reading comprehension we are reading the boy in the striped pyjamas. As you may already know reading comprehension is when your teacher reads you a chapter of the book your reading then she/he will set you a task to complete for that chapter. So far this term we have already read 2 chapters. 

Chapter 1 ~ Bruno makes a descovery

For this chapter we had to answer some questions about the chapter we read and then we had to complete the CREATE on the right hand side of the screen.

WHAT HAS THE BOOK BEEN ABOUT SO FAR?
So far the book has been about Bruno and his family moving to a house in a desolate area with nothing to do or explore. Mother does not agree with where father has moved the family to. 

I have really enjoyed the book so far and can't wait to read even more this term.
