  1. Title: The woodwork teacher
    genre: Fiction
    about: The woodwork teachers wooden leg
    Characters: the woodwork teacher and the kids
    What I think about the characters:I think that the teacher was funny and scary at the same I thought he was funny because he scared the children and I think he was scary because he drilled his leg and damaged it in various ways.I think the children were funny as well because they basically gasped every time he damaged his leg.
    Ending: The ending was quite interesting and I thought it was quite creative.
    Who would I recommend this story to: I would recommend this story to children about 8-12 I think this because I was quite scary so not many of the younger kids would like it also they might get scared.

    I give this story a rating of 7 out of ten
    I gave this rating because it was interesting but it could have been more family friendly.

  2. The Woodwork Teacher

    Genre: fiction, scary.

    Plot: a teacher scared children by using woodwork tools on his wooden leg.

    Characters: Mr Horrell, Sylvia, George, Tasha..
    I thought that the characters were very well thought out and that the idea of the teacher scaring the children with various tools on his
    wooden leg, was hilarious!

    Ending thoughts: well, I'd have to say, the ending made me laugh and laugh and laugh. The whole thing of biting my nails in fright to laughing out loud is kinda crazy!

    Who: for 8-11 year olds

    Star rating: 8/10 (********). It was a fantastic story but it was scary and had fake red splatters on the pages.

  4. Revenge of the aliens
    I think that this story is a fiction story because there is no way you could get sucked into a computer!
    This story was about 2 kids playing on the computer and get sucked into the computer.
    People in the play:Brendon ,Kelly ,Mum , Sound effect 1,Sound effect 2 ,sound effect 3,Alein 1 Alein 2.I think all of these things are a very different and have a strong personality. Ending of the story:I thought the ending was sort of like a dead end because you don't know what happened after they got stuck in the computer.I would give this story to a person that computer games.9/10 because the story was great but the ending let it down.

  6. Ben,s Book Review
    The story was about... a number of great white sharks in the world are getting smaller and smaller.Scientists are wondering how are they going to study about sharks and how many there were now and how many there were before.
    The characters were a Diver in a divers suit,A shark which was called a great white shark.I would recomend this story to Fergus because he gets stuck on on words a lot. i think the ending of the story was intresting. I rate the story 8 out of 10.From Ben West-clement.

    Fire call-out

    The Genre: Interesting, fast

    Plot:It got really fast just to get to the fire station but a relief that it was only a practice fire.

    Character: The firefight, he was very fast and motivated to get to the fire station. He's also very brave.

    End of the story: It was a great ending what a relief!

    Star rating:Out of ten I would rate it: ********** Fantastic story!!
