Daisy's maze
by Kyle Mewburn



"Daisy lived at the top of a very tall tower, in the middle of a maze.
Every Tuesday, her friends would come to tea, but they would be so tired after their long trip through the maze and tower that they'd fall asleep."

Mr Page read this book to us.
Here are some of the things we thought.

It was exciting! It was amazing! It is a very good maze. He used very descriptive words.
Five out of five.
If you want to know what happens to Daisy - visit the library and read the book.

After the earthquake!


14 September 2010


Yes! At 4.35 am on Saturday 4th September a major earthquake struck Christchurch, New Zealand. At 7.1 magnitude it toppled buildings, homes, ripped open roads and left everyone terrified. BUT everyone is alive.
Most people now have power and water back on and most children are back at school although sadly some schools may have to be demolished and rebuilt.

This natural disaster will be part of New Zealand's history and in time much will be written about it but in the mean time there are plenty - thousands actually - of other books in the library.
Here are some of room 7's children relaxing in the library.
Pop in and get some out. It is a great way to relax after such an event.

Monster revenge

Monster revenge
by Dean Lorey


This is book two in the Nightmare Academy series

This was really cool and interesting. It had lots of different monsters.
Charlie, Violet and Theodore have to fight hydras to get the milk off the mother hydra to save
the guardian. Lots of adventure.

Dean Lorey has a great website if you like monsters.
