My Bird Mascot

I chose Nugget, which is a silkie chicken I choose this bird because they are soft and fluffy and maybe cuddly, unlike most birds surprisingly chickens aren’t afraid of humans, and another reason I have chosen the chicken is because I don’t usually like doing things out of my comfort zone usually so I could probably call myself a chicken so that's why I have chosen my mascot to be Nugget! 

Read Or Not To Read

The book I have been reading is called “Virals” and it's by; Kathy Reichs,

I have only just started reading this book and I’m in the first couple of pages and so far, there have been two main characters they’re called, Tory and Ben they have woken up in the middle of the forest sleeping in their tent, and they wake up and hear some strange noises… then they spot some silhouettes in between the trees.

Hopefully it will be a very, good book and I'm thinking that it will be a good book hopefully and I would recommend it.

Here is my word art that I made on the “Wordart.com” website

It chose to make the image of the art a sun with eyes and a mouth because in the last paragraph they were in a forest with tents and I was thinking a moon would suit it.

Christmas Disco!

Fundraiser, Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust

On Friday 29th November we had a disco at school it was Christmas themed and we had been planning for weeks and we had some times when we didn't agree with each other and what we should get and sell. But we got through all of that and decided on have lolly bags, glow sticks and juice boxes.

At this stage we have to count how much gold coin donations we got and also how many donations of dog food. Then we have to email Dogwatch and ask which day we can come visit and give them the dog food.
