THE GOOD SAMARITAN

At Holywood primary school we have a litter picking group with me Thomas and Leland  in it. Yesterday Thursday the 21st of may we made an action plan we are going to not waste our recourse and not litter the playground in rubbish and we are going to recycle used batteries. One day we were litter picking and when we were done we gave the bag to Miss Dale and she got Lewis to read how much it weighed he thought it said 70g but it weighed 750g which is quite a lot for a bag of rubbish. luckily a man in Canada had the same idea he is hoping to get 1,000 bottles or more he also has a litter buggy which carries a tent some water and food he has already travelled 5,000 miles or over. The litter picking group is hoping to pick up lots of litter as well we are hoping to get lots of people  trying to collect rubbish and not make the place worse.

On the 8th of may 2015 we went to Dalswinton Estate for ffishing. We had to busses to go on I went on the small one but some people got on the big one. The big bus had a TV and a water fountain and the little bus had music. When we got there we met a girl called Debbie and she told us the rules of being by the river we then put our bags down on the floor. There were to men there and they were doing electro-fishing when ever something swam in the hoop the hoop flashed and the over man got his net and caught the stuff. They cautht trout and fry. Then we got to feel the fish in one bucket there was trout and fry and in the over bucket was an eel then we did kick trays I kicked up the rocks and isla caught the bugs we caught all sorts of bugs and then we just got play in the river I walked all the way to the top of the river and walked down the rapids. Then we went back to school for lunch and that was fish after lunch a man called Chris came and taught us how to fly fish.

This book is all about a little penguin he is washed up one night after a big storm hit the island. Luckily a boy called tom found him in the morning washed up on the beach so tom took him home in a cardboard fish and chips box toms mum phoned a penguin expert so she could see what the matter was with the penguin. the expert came round straight away the expert said they had to take it back to the beach so they left it there. I thought it was a very good book I would recommend it to anyone I liked the bit were the boy rescued  the penguin I wish it had more chapters though 8/10 I gave it. it is not a reading challenge book
