Fables

One day there was a young mouse. When anyone offered this mouse a job, he would turn it down and say " I am too little and I am not strong enough for the job". The animal accepted his turn down and went away to find someone else. One day there was a huge storm and the mouse village was torn to peices. Everyone had to help, big or small. The mouse relised that he was big and strong enough to work and help others. After the village was repaired the young mouse decided to help and work for the colony.

Moral: Give it a go. You don't relise your own strengths till you have a try at something new.

Overveiw of Year 7 Englsih

Year 7 English-

Term 1-

• Short Stories
• For my short story we had to choose 1 or 2 pictures and write a creative short story about them. My short story was about two people going camping. They went canoeing and got lost from the group and unfortunatly died. The part that I found the hardest was the word limit because I wasn't used to having one because in Junior School we never had one.

Term2-

Reflection for The Dark Hills Divide

The Dark Hills Divide Reflection-

This term the class had to read; The Dark Hills Divide.

My favourite characters were:

Alexa- Alexa is one of my favourite characters because she is very mature and talanted and also because she helped save Bridewell and finish what Warvold started.

Sebastian- Sebastian is a very interesting character because he is a very sly and clever character but how ever he was sly and clever enough.

At the start of the book, personally I found it hard to follow but once I got into it I thought it was very interesting and detailed.

Score: 8/10
