Our class is doing a unit study on Saving Finnegan. Saving Finnegan is a book which is set in the Island of Coll  in Scotland. The book is about a young girl called Holly. One morning she goes down to the beach and finds a whale left stranded and she called him Finnegan.  Holly was trying to look for help however the only person she could find was postman Cyril. He had  a knobbly purple, strawberry shaped nose which he poked into other people’s business. Holly’s mum said it was caused by an unhealthy fondness for moonshine. Everybody helped  Holly and Postman Cyril save Finnegan . We are currently on chapter 2 and we have lots more to find out.

Hello,

In my class we have been doing a new unit study called Saving Finnegan. It is all about a whale called Finnegan who shows up on the beach in the island of Coll. In the story there is a little girl called Holly. She is the one that finds the whale one morning and decides to name it Finnegan. All of the villagers are coming to help in the story and the firemen and the vet are coming too. They are all pouring buckets of water over the whale and are all working together to try and help the whale. So far we have only read a few chapters but I have really enjoyed the book. It is very interesting and I cant wait to read more of it.
