At school we are fortunate enough to be reading A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. We have completed The Bad Beginning and are now moving on to The Reptile Room. I love it already, but I very much enjoyed the first one so I think it deserves to be on the book blog. My favourite character is Sunny; she reminds me of Bella. Heh, that’s funny. She has my name and Bella’s personality, though me and Bella could not be more different. I am not very good at book reviews (I have other people on the blog who do them instead. I am very lucky to be accompanied by such talented people!) so for a much longer, more interesting and much more informative review, I recommend you visit our class blog, Sound Primary’s Super 6A, for a reviews covering lots of different points: https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/sh/soundprimary6a/2017/02/28/our-class-novel/

Hello lovely people of the internet! I went to school last week, casually walked into class, and a beautiful sight greeted my eyes; writing jotters on everyone’s desks! That may not seem exciting to you, but we only get writing once a week, so I was very excited. As the bell rang and we sat down, we realized that there was a rather strange image on the whiteboard; a sunbaked landscape with the sun itself of a blinding volume silhouetting a dozen balloons floating upwards. It was soon explained that we were to create a story inspired by this picture in just 50 words (that is less than you think), so I sat down and started scribbling away. After a lot of editing my story was complete! It was from the sun’s point of view, reflecting on how humans used to worship the sun and now he is almost ignored in everyday life. The story takes a very serious and bitter path until, at the end, balloons rise above the clouds and the sun realizes the humans remember him after all. Soon my story had been sent to the judges. About a week and a half later the winners were decided. I was not one, but there is always next time….
