On Wednesday the 2 of November science alive came to Burnham school.

I thought it was so exciting I nearly went crazy!!!

My favourite experiment was the last one it was so cool we got to use fire. Chris our science alive caretaker was helping us. We put some powders over the fire and looked to see if the powders had melted, changed colour or smelled. Most of them smelled.

In the end I had a really fun time. I thought it was one of the best days of the term!!!!!!!!

Book review - A dog called Rod by Tim Hopgood

A girl called Elsa lives on the top floor of flats. She lives with her Dad. Elsa has an imaginary dog, his name is Rod. Rod is sparkly. Rod does not go for walks, he rides a big blue bike. Elsa really wants a real dog. Her dad says he'll think about it. The next day she gets to look after a dog called Barker. She realises that having a dog is hard work. So the next day she wants a mouse. She says to her dad that Rod wants one too, so dad says lets get one BUT WHO ON EARTH IS ROD?

A dog called Rod is a great story because the book has sparkly pages and and is a good book to read. It teaches you to use your imagination and also that looking after a dog is hard work.

High School Drama

One day two girls were walking

along the path. There names are

Ailish and Grace. One day a car

came past. The car stopped, the

girls were freaked out but it

was only mum and dad. They

got in the car and went home.

One sunny morning the girls

were walking to high school.

They would say hi to everyone

because they were the most

popular girls in school.
