Get your books out were time travelling to 1966.

I am learning to surmise text and to respond to the text.
 I know I learnt how to surmise my text because in this book I have said what this is mostly I wrote about the main idea.

Last week we have been reading a book called Pacific Paradise. It is written by Mary Campbell this is a report book.

This book is mainly about.The life cycle of eels and how dams are not helping their migration.

This is the life cycle of an eel. Their parents form eggs, once the eggs are made their parents die. After this they form into a larvae . A larvae is an immature form of an insect or other animal . It will then transform into a transparent eel called a glass eel they then grow until they are ready to spawn this means until they are ready to breed they make their eggs and they die and there generation goes on like that for years. Many people are saying that eels might just get extinct this is because of hydro dams and other reservoirs block the migration of elvers up stream so their generation will stop.

I learnt the life cycle of the book because I didn’t really known much about eels and now I know there are long fin eels short fin eels and that their parents die once they form eggs. I recommend this book to fluent readers and advanced readers this is because some words were very hard and challenging.

Do you want to read a book review.

Today in class I read Following the Gold. This book is written by Gordon Campbell it is a fiction book.

This book is mostly about Chinese men who go to the goldfields in New Zealand to earn money and send it back to their families in China so that they don't become a poverty stricken family. It is also about racism from Pakeha this culture was jealous and did not want the Chinese to take the Pakehas jobs and Europeans were jealous that the Chinese could fine gold were they couldn't.

In summary this book was mostly about Chinese men went over to New Zealand to earn money for their family.

My favourite part was when the Chinese thought of going out to other parts of the New Zealand and get more jobs like being a shopkeeper or more.

I wonder what you have been reading.

My Book Review.

This week I read Heart Beat it is a non-fiction. The author of this book is Andre Ngapo. This book is about a family who is trying to stop the English from cutting down Tane Mahuta the tree and other tree’s. And he can also hear the heartbeat of Tane Mahuta.

My favorite part was when the moku finally heard the heartbeat and when mum made a sign that said “ Our forests are our future.” save the rakau. I learnt that we should keep our forests alive and keep the trees up.
