Book title: Harry Potter and the prisoner of AZKABAN

Author: J.K. Rowling

Illustrator: Mary Grandpré

This book was about the adventures of Harry Potter. In this

book he finds out that Sirius Black(once James Potter’s best

friend) helped He-who-must-not-be-named against the Potters.

My favorite character in this book was…

Harry, because he is very clever and a very kind person.

I liked this book because…

This book has Action, Adventure and Suspense.

You should read this book because…

When there is a suspenseful part you want to find out what the

next part will be. Plus, if you don’t want to read a violent

book, the scary parts don’t involve any killing.

Thank you for reading my book review

Sincerely,

Alex M.

Four  Seasons  By  Arya  S.    Spring,  Summer,  Fall  and  Winter  Have  fun  all  these  seasons.    Look  outside  from  the  window    Watch  for  Spring’s  beautiful  rainbows.                  Summer  is  No  Bummer.    Don’t  sit  inside,  go  outside.  It  is  a  time  to  enjoy  the  Sun.    Gold,  Orange,  Red  and  Yellow.  Looks  so  pretty  when  leaves  Fall  down.    After  Fall  I  am  ready  for  the  Ball.    Beautiful  Snowflakes,  White  everywhere.  Wait  for  Santa  and  a  Happy  New  Year.    No  matter  if  it's  rain  or  if  it's  shine    No  matter  if  it’s  cold  or  hot.    Have  some  fun  and  don’t  you  worry.

THE MYSTERIOUS HOUSE

There once was a boy named Max,

he had 100 brothers

including him and 100 sisters.

They had an aunt Henna

and an uncle Rouf.

They lived in a mysterious house.

It was called an Orphanage

They were waiting for someone to adopt them,

aunt Henna and uncle Rouf were mean

one day they were tired of the orphanage.

The 100 boys huddled

with the 100 girls,

they wanted freedom!

Another day they all escaped

when the aunt and uncle weren’t home.

The horns rang,

what a mysterious house.

They were safe forever

But, Max stayed.

Aunt Henna and uncle Rouf are coming,

they have a visitor.

It was the owners Victor and Victoria.

Julie got Rex,

She ran back,

Victor and Victoria were mad.

They blew the orphanage down,

and the children were happy

and the mysterious house

Was bye, bye!

Poetry

by Lauren C.

My Mom

My mom warms my heart

When I am scared, she is there

When I am sad, she is there

When I am happy, she is there

When I am glad, she is there

When I am an adult, she will still be there!

I love my mom and she loves me.

Lauren

Smart,

Considerate,

Kind,

Likes to play tennis

Fears spiders and thunders

Wants to swim with a killer whale

Worries about bugs biting me

Wonders about when my allergies and rashes will go away

Hopes to visit Greece and China one day

Dreams about being a pet trainer!

The Starry Night

Ghosts get pushed in the wind,

Swish! Swish!

Stars gleaming in the night,

Twinkle! Twinkle!

Moon shining up in the mountains,

Making shadows big and small

The sky is having a party at night!

My First Day of School

Some new faces, some old faces

New classroom, new people

Doing activities, having fun

Meeting new friends, being buddies

Playing together, having fun

Learning Math, Reading and Writing

Going to specials - PE, Art, Music, Spanish

School is fun!

I love school!

MOUNTAIN BIKING WITH THE PROS

By Nick C. 2nd grade, Mrs. Ramirez

What is mountain biking

According to Wikipedia “Mountain biking is a sport which consists of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough terrain, using specially adapted mountain bikes.

This individual sport requires endurance, core strength and balance, bike handling skills, and self-reliance. “

Why mountain biking is great I like when you can go fast on the trails. When you finish your ride it feels like you have accomplished a lot. It feels really fun riding in the woods, going through the trees and riding over rocks. The hard trails are a challenge but you feel confident and surprised that you can do it. How you become a great mountain biker You practice every day for a few hours to get better. If you want to become good at something you have to try and try again. You have to love to ride a bike to be good at it. What’s the point of riding if you don’t love it? It is good to have a riding partner that has experience in mountain biking. If you don’t win a race you have to practice a lot and then win the next race.

My inspiration

My dad was my inspiration to start mountain biking. He races a lot and that got my attention to ride a mountain bike. My dad rides for a team called MTBNJ. He does mountain biking races, cycle cross races, and road races. He trains really hard to get better to win. In April I went to my dad’s race. It was The Tour of the Battenkill, a road race. I gave my dad a water bottle at the feeding station. I liked watching the race because I was learning from the riders how to ride better. My favorite places to ride

My dad, brother and I like to ride at 6 –mile, Mercer and Clayton. My best ride was 14 mile loop in 2 hours.

After every ride we go to Dairy Queen to get some ice cream. This is kind of a tradition after every ride. It’s a treat because we do so good during the ride.

My Races

I am 8 years old and I’ve been riding my mountain bike for over 2 years. I did a lot of mountain biking races so far and I participated in my first triathlon. The biking part was pretty easy.

The last mountain biking race was at Kittatinny park. I won 2nd place and got a medal. I raced with 2nd and 3rd graders. We raced for 3 laps. After that I raced with the 4th and 5th graders and did great.

Preparing for your ride You need to be prepared for your ride. You need to have helmet, gloves, water bottle, extra tube, and biking tools. You should also spray some bug spray on you before you go biking.

How to ride First, you swing your left leg to the left side of the bike. Then you put your left leg on the pedal. Next you push off with your right leg. After you push off quickly put your right leg on the pedal. After that you start pedaling (clockwise). How to go over obstacles If you go on a mountain biking trail and you’ve never done it you should go on the easy trails. If you see a log you have to go fast toward it. When you get to the log do not stop. After your wheel touches the log, try to pull with your handlebars to go up. After you successfully get your handlebars up, you’ll see your wheel go up. After your wheel goes up try to put it on top of the log. Then go fast and try to get your back wheel on top of the log. When you get your back wheel on top of the log go fast and go down. You never slow down on a log. If you do, you would never even get to the top. And do this all in one step. Making turns If you have to turn, (right or left) turn your handle bars in the direction you’re going. If you need to turn around, go right or left. Then you go straight. If you want to go around something you go right or left around. If you go too close to the object you are going around you will crash. So that’s why you take big, wide turns around the object. Gears If you want to go a different speed you can use gears. For kids, there are about 7 and 6 gears. Adults can have gears somewhere in the 20’s. Other bikes have one gear. That is called a single speed bike. If you have more than one gear that is called geared bike.

When you go uphill you need to use one of the light gears, like 1, 2 or 3. When you are going somewhere that is flat, you can use the gears somewhere in the middle, 5 or 6. When you go downhill you need to use the biggest gear to get more power and speed. Going downhill When you are going down a hill you never take your feet off the pedals. If you do, you might lose balance and fall. That is why you do not put your feet off the pedals. If there is root’s you can either go around them or you can go on top of them. If it is one of those hills where you go downhill then uphill you have to go really fast. When you finish going downhill you have to switch to gear 1 or gear 2. After you switch to gear 1 or gear 2 you have to pedal really fast. Usually when you go over a root, you cannot go any higher. So here is some advice - do not try to go over a root. But, if you have the strength to do it you can try. The way to avoid the roots is going around the roots. It’s a little hard but like I said a few hours every day can be very good for you. Interval training To get better at riding, you can do intervals. Intervals are when you ride very fast and go all out for a few minutes and then ride slowly for a few minutes after that.

The  Tale  of  Despereaux  (Book  Review)    By  Rylan  C.       Despereaux  is  a  mouse  who  wants  to  be  a  knight  in  shining  armor  and  save  the  princess.    Chiaroscuro  seeks  revenge  on  the  princess.    Will  Despereaux  save  the  princess?    Or  will  the  princess  suffer  in  the  dungeon?    You’ll  have  to  read  The  Tale  of  Despereaux  to  find  out.       I  really  liked  how  Despereaux  wants  to  save  the  princess.    I  disliked  how  Chiaroscuro  wanted  to  kidnap  the  princess.       One  thing  I  learned  from  Despereaux  was  how  important  it  is  to  never  give  up.    Despereaux  showed  me  how  to  never  give  up  even  when  things  were  really  scary.       I  recommend  this  book  to  kids  and  adults  that  like  adventure.

Alice  and  Greta  (Book  Review)  By  Shaina  S.       Alice  and  Greta  is  a  book  about  witches  who  are  very  different.    One  day,  Greta  wanted  to  stir  up  trouble.    Will  Greta’s  plan  work,  or  will  Alice  save  the  day?       I  like  Alice  and  Greta  because  it  has  magic  (both  good  and  bad)  and  they  look  at  the  same  thing  but  in  different  ways.    I  would  want  to  see  another  book  about  when  Greta  goes  to  school  AGAIN.           I  learned  from  Alice  and  Greta  to  treat  others  the  way  you’d  like  to  be  treated.    I  think  people  who  will  like  book  also  like  magic,  kindness,  and  a  good  deal  of  fairy  tales.    Alice  and  Greta  taught  me  to  always  look  at  something  in  a  good  way.    If  you  want  to  find  out  what  happens  read  Alice  and  Greta!        

 

STARS

By Shine Wang

Stars, stars in the sky

Very high in the sky

Stars are shining in the night so pretty

Each star comes after a thousand years

They come back after a thousand years too

Stars live where planets live in space

Some are small some are big they come in all sizes

Some are even bigger than the sun

Some are even as small as earth or smaller

Stars are like little sparkles in the sky

Stars are very fun to watch in the night

It would be awesome to grab a star in your hands
