About Me

Hi, My name is Sam and I am a Year 5 student at Mt Carmel School. I wanted to participate in the Summer Blogging as I was with my mum when Rachel came to talk to her class. I asked my mum if I can join. Finally she agrees and I am very keen to journey through with so many children around New Zealand.

My Book Review 2013

Choose a word to describe your book.



Title:My Story Castaway           Author: Bill O’ Brien
Date started: 29/07/13    Date finished: 02/08/13 
This book was.... Adventurous.
What was the book about?
My book is  actually a diary written by Samuel Abraham Clark. His parents died in a fire. He travelled from New Zealand to Australia. When he was on the boat he met Mr Harrington. Mr Harrington gave him a little present. It was his father’s diary. When he reached Australia, he hopped off the boat and thanked the Harringtons for all they've done for him. Then he hopped on another boat to London. The captain of the boat was Captain Thorbourne. Then a strong wind came. It kept coming until it ripped the boat apart. They were shipwrecked for days.
TO BE CONTINUED....

What did you like about the book?
What I liked about the book was that it was quite adventurous. I had a lot of Self-Questioning while I was reading this book. I also liked the way the book was set out.

What was your favourite part of the book?
My favourite part of the book was when he travelled at sea for 45 days in a ship named “DUNDONALD” and he was still alive. They were shipwrecked by the strong wind that blew them apart.

How many stars would you give this book? Colour the stars.
(5 – Excellent, 1 – Poor)A five star book.
