Strombreaker Book vs Movie

Stormbreaker Book vs. Movie

This term our class p4 have been reading an action packed book called Stormbreaker we watched the movie after we read the book and we are going to compare it to the book.

In the beginning of the book is better than the movie because it kept you of the edge of your seat even in the most relaxed parts also it was more explanatory in the intro because so it make it exiting.

       The middle of the movie is boring because they skipped most of the exiting parts but  some of the scenes were still as exciting as the book but it is a bit poor I was wanting to see what the mine looks like under water.

The end Is probably better in the movie it seems better because it has more meaning and its more emotional and the death of herrod salye look more dramatic.

So with that spoken I think that the book is better than the movie because it is more action packed.

How to make a paper airplane

1. Fold the paper along the width then unfold it to create a crease along its center.

2. On one side of the paper, fold each corner in towards the center to the point where the inside edges are even with the centerline crease.

3. Starting at the very tip of the point, fold the paper over on each side so the inside edges line up with the center crease.

4. Turn the paper airplane over and fold it in half along the centerline.

5. Fold the first wing with the line of the fold running nearly parallel to the centerline of the plane. Make this fold from 1/2 to 1 inch from the center. Step 6 shows this fold more clearly.

6. Fold the second wing exactly as you did the first. After you have made this plane you may find that it doesn't hold together too well in the rear. Use a small piece of tape along the center fold in the rear to keep it tight. This can be avoided by using smaller pieces of paper.

The Hatchet

Today on the 11/04/13 we have finally finished the Hatchet it was an amazing emotional story about a thirteen year old boy called Brian and this story of survival and how he survived two months in Canadian bushland. His story of survival is amazing and is a great book.  My favorite part was when he had found the survival pack from the plane that had crashed in the middle of the lake. When is just about to have a feast when he hears a plane it lands on the water then he thinks im saved at last.
