Song: The Bodies of Water

Lyrics

We are the bodies of water. 

Watch us go up or down. 

We are the bodies of water.

Watch us go up or down. 

I,m the biggest body 

I'm the ocean. (repeat)

I'm the body who flows and never stops 

I'm a river. (repeat)

I'm a body with fishponds 

I'm a lake. (repeat)

I'm also home to fish 

I'm a pond. (repeat) 

I'm a body who flows over a cliff. 

I'm a waterfall. (repeat)

We are the bodies of water.

Watch us go up or down. 

We are the bodies of water. 

Watch us go up or down. 

A Christmas Carol Book Review

I just read A Christmas Carol and I learned a lot of things but first here is the story summarized by me.

Pennyroyal Academy Book Review

I just read Pennyroyal Academy and I can’t wait to read another book. Anyway here is my book report.

Pennyroyal Academy by MA Larson

There was once a girl lost in the woods who wears spiderwebs for clothes. She doesn’t know her name or why she is there in the treacherous forest. As she explores the dangerous forest she heard some weird noises then she saw a light shimmering out of the forest so she ran to the light as fast as her feet could take her. Then she arrived at a little cottage where she got trapped by a witch but then she was safely saved by a boy named Remington who enlists to Pennyroyal Academy to become a knight. Since the girl has nowhere to go she enlists at Pennyroyal Academy too. So she joined Remington on a harrowing adventure where they have to pass some dangerous places. After that harrowing adventure, they arrived at Pennyroyal Academy where princesses and knights battle witches and dragons. There she was given the name Evie and as she explores and learns how to be a princess, she surprisingly learns about her family, friends, and enemies and also about herself. And when the witches creep closer Evie learned what it truly means to be a princess. I learned that you should be strong and brave. Do not be scared because you are stronger and braver than you think. So if you think you are strong and brave enough, enlist to Pennyroyal Academy to become tomorrow's princesses and knights!

Wish Book Review

I've just read Wish written by Barbara O’Connor. This story is not real, it’s fiction and the story began in Colby, North Carolina and the main character is Charlie Reese. Heres the summary:

Wish by Barbara O'Connor

Charlie Reese is a girl who lives with a broken family. Her family does not care about her. Its because her mom and dad are always fighting and every time they fight, a swear word would come out of their mouths. Her dad always fights so much that people called him scrappy and in fact, he is now in jail because of his fondness of fighting. Despite this, she has been making the same wish since fourth grade. Since Charlie has an unstable family she was sent to live with her aunt Bertha and uncle Gus although she doesn't really know them. She hated the place and things and all and when she went to school everything seems to get even worse. Kids laugh at her, and Audrey Mitchell, a girl from class, shoved and kicked her. That is until she meets wishbone, a skinny brown and black stray dog who loves her so much and Howard a surprising up and down boy who became a true friend to Charlie. Soon Charlie gets in trouble and when she discovers her wish, it turned out that it is not what she needs after all. Soon she also finds her auntie and uncle caring and loving. But with the help of her loving aunt and uncle, a true friend and the dog of her life, she discovers what a true family is. In the story, I've learned what a true family is and just like Charlie with the help of her new family and friend, she learned what a family truly is. A family should be caring about each other and not fighting. Definitely no exchanging of swear words.

A Long Walk To Water Book Review

   The title of the book is A Long Walk To Water and the author is Linda Sue Park. And did you know that the book is based from a true story? This is a story about two characters Salva and Nya and they live in one country Africa Sudan. Although they live in the same country their stories didn't happen at the same time. Nya's story started in 2008 while Salva's was in 1985. Now I will summarize the stories of Nya and Salva below.

A Long Walk to Water

THE STORY OF NYA.

   Nya, a girl from Sudan travels from home to pond on foot, she collects water for herself and for her family. She walks eight hours a day. Nya lives in a village although they don’t stay there too often. Nya's tribe, the Nuer often fought with Dinka tribe and old and young people died so they moved to a camp near a big lake. What Nya liked about the camp was she doesn't need to walk for water, she just needs to dig for water but her mother hated the camp. They slept in a makeshift tent and Nya's father and brother need to go hunting and Nya's mother was afraid that they might run into Dinka's tribesmen and get hurt. Soon Nya's little sister Akeer got sick because of the water because it was brown and muddy. Soon they got back and Akeer got better then a Dinka man wanted to build a well. Nya was wondering why would a Dinka bring water to them. But it turns out that the man helping them is Salva, now fully grown.

THE STORY OF SALVA.

   Salva a boy from Sudan was at school listening to the teacher he was lucky to go to school until there was a gunfire nearby. Salva ran into some bushes, running away home. After so many years Salva had overcome the difficulty and had walked more than a mile. When he grew up he thought about helping Sudan and soon these thoughts became reality and he had helped his tribe the Dinka and also the Nuer. He did not quit and by his perseverance, Salva reached his goal.

   I soon learned in the book to never quit and not to give up because as soon as you try and try again you will eventually reach your goal.

Miffy's Adventure with Saki and Hana

Playing with Miffy toys with my sister Hana.

The Cats on the Farm

On an old farm a long time ago lived two cats named Cathy and Kathy. They live alone with their mother since the old farmer doesn’t work there anymore. Although they’re the only ones there, their mother always tells them not to wander off even if they really want too.

   One day they disobeyed their mother and went to wander off with no qualms and when they were almost hit by a car, the two kittens finally got the point. Now they want to go home, just then they saw a tractor and they thought it was going to the farm so they just rode it without a second thought.

   Soon they realized that it was going to a school rather than the farm but it was too late, the tractor had already reached the school so the two kittens tried to think of a plan but all they can think of is food since they were so hungry. “I think there is food in the school”, said Cathy. “Don’t be silly Cathy, there is no food in the school”, said Kathy. 

Kathy

   But they had no other choice but to go inside instead. When they saw the cafeteria door, it was completely ajar and they just went in smelling the yummy food and hearing the sound of munching and crunching, this makes the two kittens very hungry.

   A girl named Sammy saw the two poor kittens looking for food then the two kittens went straight to Sammy begging for food. Sammy already knew what to do. She gave them some food. The kittens became happier when the girl gave them food. Then the bell rang reminding them that it was time to go home. The two kittens followed Sammy home and when they saw the house guard dog looking like a severe brute they clutched on to Sammy tightly. The kittens reached the dining table and ate the leftover donuts. This made Sammy and the two kittens happy.

   Sammy loved Cathy and Kathy so much that she wants to get another kitten since she thinks she has insufficient kittens so she wants more but two is just perfect for her. She loved to feed the kittens, play with them, put them to bed and of course bringing them to school. And sometimes on Sundays, if the weather is sunny she would take the kittens to the park to have a picnic, a walk or to play. She loved them more than anything. 

Cathy

   One day the cat’s mother found out that the two naughty kittens escaped from the farm, she was so worried that she called the whole cat family and her animal friends to help find her kids. It was a perilous journey to find Cathy and Kathy until they got to the right location of Sammy’s house. The kittens were surprised to see their mother and everyone else in the backyard. “Oh, my poor kittens who obtained so many threateningly obstacles. Oh please come back home.” said their mother. “But we don’t want to mother, we like it here,” said Cathy and Kathy. Sammy began to sob but the two kittens had to go so they were dragged out of the house and back to the farm.

   Back at the farm, everyone was so glad except Cathy and Kathy, they were so sad that they did not eat their favorite meal. They did not want to play with the other kittens and they did not feel like playing but everyone was too happy to care. 

   Then their mother found out that they are too sad so she thought of a plan to cheer them up. “Listen up everyone I would like to set up a party dedicated to Cathy and Kathy and we need just one element to cheer them up which is… can you guess what it is?” 

   “Oh Oh!” a cat from the audience exclaims. “Strawberries!” he says. “A  mud bath?” a pig from the audience exclaims. “A nap!” a goat from the audience exclaims. 

   Everybody was exclaiming so loudly until the cat’s mother shouted silence. “Don’t you understand? The only thing is Sammy!” “Then let’s go get her and prepare the party!” The whole audience exclaims. 

   When the party was prepared Cathy and Kathy did not know that Sammy was there. “SURPRISE!” everybody shouted. “Here’s the main present!” the cat’s mother said.  When the two kittens opened the present they were shocked to see Sammy. “SAMMY!”, the two kittens exclaim. “We thought we were never going to see you again!” “And that’s not all”, said the kitten’s mother. “She is going to be the new owner of the Farm!” 

   And so from now on Sammy became the owner of the farm and the two kittens became happy and the farm has a neverending party. The End.
