Story Review

Beetle by Philippa Werry

This story is about a family going tramping in the bush. The children were so bored because it was raining, so Sam went out to get some firewood from the bushes. When Sam got some fire wood, he found a Huhu Beetle on a log. He showed the Huhu Beetle to his Dad. Then Dad said ”Let's play a game called Beetle.” Dad wanted to play the game with the children to keep them busy. They carried on playing their game.

The characters in this story are Dad, Sam, Phoebe and Matt. This story took place outside in the bushes.

I like this story because it tells us a little bit about Beetles and it is interesting too.

Review of an article I read

WALT review articles we read

Bean Rock   b y Philippa Werry

This article is about a family living on a lighthouse called Bean Rock. Hugh Brown, the lighthouse keeper had been staying there for nineteen years.

The characters in the article are Hugh Brown, James Anderson, Ivan and Halley.

I liked this article because it tells us about what life was like for lighthouse keepers in those days when there was no technology. I have learnt how life can be like without many people staying around you from this article.
