Fishy Review by caoimhe

Fishy
Fishy is a classic story that is published in the coolest school magazine Touchdown. The story is written by the wonderful Sharon Kretschmer and illustrated by the amazing  Craig Phillips . It is an amazing story that has a crazy ending .It is an fantastic addition to this magazine . 

The story is about a boy named Jack . A regular boy or so Jack thinks .He lives in a small town and has a normal life until one day .......

Fish lots of fish .
 they fell from the sky
fish everywhere
He has a great fabulous life until he finds out shocking secret.


I strongly believe this is a funny, unusual story that is a one of a kind . Sharon Kretschmer has inspired me to write creative extraordinary narratives that are full of remarkably big words and fantastic illustrations .I recommend this book particularly for students in year 2 and 3 at the ages of 7 to 9. This is a great book and it is to my full belief you should read it .

There are eight planets in the Solar System. The third planet is earth and there are two planets that have rings on them. Andrew's dog called Spot always dreamed of going to the moon. He decided to take his friend Shovel. They went to the moon to see how earth looks from up there. When they looked back at earth it looked smaller than they thought it would. So they stayed on the moon and decided to explore all the other planets.

Buttons and Miaow by Shajarra

There once was a woman who had a dog called Buttons. She was afraid that her Buttons was going to die, she went on her computer and found a pet shop where could buy a kitty. She chose a kitty and called it Miaow. She took Miaow home and introduced her to Buttons. Miaow and Buttons played fetch together. The woman thought Buttons was dying but he was only sleeping. Instead the woman died and Buttons and Miaow were left on the street. A little girl found them and took them home to her mansion where they lived happily ever after.

The Man and the Sea by Lara

There once was a man who loved to listen to the sea roar. He loved to go to the beach when there was a sunset which made the water go pink. He sometimes found shells and only when he opened some of them did he find out they were mussels which he cooked to eat. He started a shell collection with all different types of shells, even ones that people hadn't seen before. After a while he realised that the shells belong to the sea and other creatures needed them to live. He decided to return the shells to the sea and let them go free.
