3 different articles from 3 different genres (reading t2 w8)

 This week for reading we are choosing 3 articles from different genres.

I read:

Article 1: Science Straws invented that stops hiccups I think that this is an interesting but great invention because hiccups can be very annoying and this is a great solution.

Article 2: Sports Swimming NZ to send 7 swimmers to the Tokyo Olympics I think its really exciting that we are having these swimmers represent our country in swimming events. 

Article 3: World China Sends 3 Astronauts Into Space I found this really cool and interesting to read. I think this is a cool idea and it will give us a lot of information we may not already know about space.

What do you think about these articles?

The diary of an AFL legend

 The create task this week was to read a book and make a character reading web about the charaters in the book. I read 'Diary Of An AFL Legend'

This book is about a boy named Marcus, who is very intelligent when it comes to academics however he is not good at sports. His cousin comes to stay and teaches him to play AFL and the book goes through his journey learning how to play AFL.  I found this quite an interesting and funny book to read.
