Reading Activities

Kia Ora readers, today I will be sharing you my work and what we have been accomplishing for our reading time. So we have been reading our journal, and after ward when we complete the process of finishing them we need to do the exercises. I have been reading Rain Fall composed by Ella West ( FICTION ), this book was about a young lady who lived in West Coast and she play basketball, and her name is Annie. Her world began to shudder when her neighbour began accomplishing something, and that person is Pete. He explode his own home, and do some other stupid stuff. At that point when Annie met the new kid Jack, the two of them ride their ponies which is Blue and Tassie in the Deadmans ( name of the spot ). Two of them are drawing nearer and closer as they generally get together in there. A ton of fascinating thing occurred in this book, so I would probably recommended this to you.

So here is the two activities, that I have created:

Use your white hat and list information about the text.

• Title: RAINFALL 

• Author and Illustrator: ELLA WEST and Allen, Unwin 

• Awards that the book might have won: I’m still not sure about the awards that this book received because it was her latest book published in January 2018 so I thought that this book received the award of “ Longlisted Ngaio Marsh Award 2019 NZ”. And  the rest of her book has received some awards, such as Children’s Book Awards, etc. 

• Plot what happened: From what I have I read there’s a  lot of things happening because in chapter 1 to 10 Annie and her family were arguing if Pete a.k.a her childhood friends was the one who did some mysterious things. Also what kind of person is Annie, like she’s sporty and also a curious person. That’s also the time Pete's house was blown out, and the rest of the police and investigators are finding him because they want to know if he was ok or he was alive/ dead.And Annie is not able to get out of the house because of the incident, and that made her really grumpy also worried. Also when Jack the new boy in the town, and Annie meet on the beach they start hanging out and riding their horses. Jack is the kind of boy who was kind and also sporty ( racer of some horses ). They meet up even though the weather is really bad, they go to the place called “ Deadmans “and go around to find Pete or they just want to meet up.
