Reading To Class
Read chapter to class, Ant lost the plot a little before getting it together and returning to the group. I was impressed with the way he calmed himself down and returned to the group. He was really mature and I think this was the biggest reflection of much he had grown up. Go Ant. Now they have decided not to go after the Poachers I'm not sure what is going to happen...perhaps they will stumble accross the poachers and save the day!!! Gooo Ant -

The 10pm Question by Katie Di Goldi
This is a great book, I am really loving the characters. I have only just started, so far there is a boy who clearly has some sort of Autism he and his friend are very close and now a third person, a girl called Syndey has joined their group. I love the way Sydney is very direct in the way she asks questions. I wonder if this is where the book title comes from. I'm not sure where this book is heading!! I love the way the writer spends time developing characters though, the aunties are brilliant. -
