I LIKE READING, IT’S FUN AND NICE,
CALM AND PEACEFUL,
SOMETIMES IT GIVES YOU MEMORIES,

SO SHOULD YOU,
IF YOU’RE NOT A READER
START READING,
START IT,
IT’S A PLEASURE,
IF YOU READ BOOKS YOU’LL GET SMART,
YOU CAN RECOMMEND THEM TO SOMEONE ELSE,
IF YOU ENJOYED READING THAT BOOK,
IF YOU HAVE A YOUNGER BROTHER OR SISTER,
WHO DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO READ,
THEN TEACH THEM HOW TO READ
WHEN YOU'RE OLDER AND YOU WANT TO BE A TEACHER
THEN READ!
THAT WAY YOU’LL LEARN MORE.

A Horse Called Hero by Sam Angus
I am really enjoying this book because some parts are happy
and some parts are sad. I am now going to tell you some of the blurb...In
London in 1940 Dodo and her little brother Wolf do not know what has happened
to their father.
I would recommend this book and give it 10 out of 10 because it is really
good and I think other people should read it.
Thank you for reading my book review.

Interview with Mrs Parry-Jones about books and reading
Yesterday, Megan, Madison and Jaya from Year 4 interviewed our headteacher, Mrs Parry-Jones, about everything to do with reading and books.
Hello Mrs Parry-Jones. We are going to ask you some questions about how much you love reading and how much you think the school loves reading. We'll put the answers on the book blog. Firstly, do you have a favourite book?
Well, I really love old books and children's books. I have about 20 favourite books, I just love the Winnie the Pooh books.
Who is your favourite author?
Definitely Philip Reeve. He's written some absolutely wonderful books, including Mortal Engines, which is just amazing.
Do you have a favourite picture book?
I think it's either Peepo! by Janet and Allan Ahlberg or The Arrival by Shaun Tan.
What was your favourite book as a child?
I would have to say it was the Malory Towers books by Enid Blyton.
Are there any poems that you love?
Lots and lots. Anything by Michael Rosen. I also love Ozymandias by Percy Shelley.
How much time do you have for reading?
I read a lot in the week, probably for about three hours or so. Even though that's a lot, I would love to try and find more time for reading.
What's your favourite thing about books?
You can open them and just go to another world.
Why is reading important in schools?
Reading can change your life! You can travel the world and enter people's minds.
Do you think children should read more?
Defnitely! I think that the more children read, the better. It can make people even cleverer than they already are. And most of all, it's fun.
Thank you very much Mrs Parry-Jones. We enjoyed interviewing you. Next week, we will interview someone else all about books.

Ozymandias by Percy Shelley
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:

Quadblogging
Our wonderful book blog has signed up to take part in Quadblogging for the next few weeks. We will be sharing our blog with schools in London, Australia and the USA. For an entire week in May and June, each blog will take turns as the
'spotlight blog' while the other three schools view the blog posts and leave
comments.
The first blog we are looking at is called Marsh Channel Two News. It is run by a class from H. Ashton Marsh Elementary School in the state of New Jersey, USA.
The following week, everyone will be commenting on our blog so lets get lots of reviews, interviews and book news sorted out.
After that, we are investigating a blog from a Chatsworth Primary School in London, England. They are the Big Ben class and have lots to say!
Finally, we will be looking at a blog from Inaburra School in New South Wales, Australia. They are called Class 4J. There blog is quite new but they are looking forward to putting lots more on it over the next few weeks.
It will be wonderful to find out about schools all over the world. As well as just commenting on what they have written, you could also think about some questions you might like to ask the pupils in the different schools. How exciting!

The Story of The World Cup by Richard Brassey
Did you know that the World Cup starts in a few weeks? I don't think England will win it but I will enjoy watching it anyway.
Mr Biddle gave me this book because I love football and I love reading. It is all about the history of the World Cup from when it started in 1930. Uruguay won the first World Cup, they beat Argentina 4-2.
This book has loads of information about what happened in all of the World Cups. In 1950 England lost 1-0 to the USA which is an amazing result. Also Luxembourg are the only team to have tried to qualify for every World Cup but they have never made it. Bad luck to them but keep trying.
The Golden Boot is for the player who scores the most goals in the competition. Ronaldo has scored the most goals in the World Cup but not the Ronaldo who plays for Portugal. It was another Ronaldo who used to play for Brazil. He played in three World Cups but wasn't very good in the last one he played in.
When England won the World Cup, it got stolen. Who found it? You need to read the book to see. The page with the worst World Cup haircuts is really funny. I think Carlos Valderrama looks the silliest.
There are only two continents where the World Cup hasn't been played. Do you know which two? Hmm, it's a mystery. One of them has lots of penguins and one of them has lots of kangaroos though.
This is a brilliant book with lots of good pictures and I really enjoyed reading it. I would give this book the Golden Boot for being the best book. I am going to read it again now.
Who do you think will win the World Cup? I think it will be Brazil.
