Lunar eclipse
Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse comes when the Sun's light stands in front of the Moon and earth,creating a colorful image in the sky. A lunar eclipse occurs when earth gets in the way of the sun and moon at the same time when the sun is shining. In order for the moon to pass through the sun's shadow, it must be during the Full Moon phase.The places that have witnessed the lunar eclipse are New Zealand, Australia, Russia, South America, Asia and Japan. The lunar eclipse depends on which way and time the moon is moving. At the start of the lunar eclipse the moon looks like a normal full moon then it seems to get a bit darker. After a few minutes, the whole process reverses and the Moon gets lighter and lighter until it finally goes back to being a normal Full Moon. The change is so small that you can just barely see it happening. during a lunar eclipse you will occasionally get to see the Moon actually change colors.

life in trenches
January 13 1915 10.00am
I have a feeling and this is very alarming, I am going to fight in a war. As we come to Gallipoli , the sound of gunshots came. I was very scared because gunshot sounds meant we were near the enemies attacking base the the next second I heard several gun shots. I was very lucky because none of them hit me but some hit some the other soldiers. A few hours later the fog that was covering the view started to clear. As we get out of the boats more sounds of guns approach and my best friend died.
January 14 1915 12.00am
After a hard losing year in the army, I will come back in the barracks. I was a sniper because they said I was good at aiming. Also trenches were filled with lots of blood and other soldiers.
January 29 1915 4.00am
The next late evening we were planning our next strike to the enemy base. We planning to set a nuclear bomb at the enemy to lose a few troops and the we will get all our soldiers and attack the whole base.
January 31 1916 5.00am
BAAM!!!!! I hear a big bang but nothing hit us, the next thing I see is enemy troops boarding our base I was really scared because I was afraid because we were going to die. When I was seeing the enemy troops boarding I seem to know that they were riflemen and they were carrying big gun to shoot us.
February 4 1916
I was at a meeting where they told to find more lieutenants and cadets and bring them to the base. When I had retrieved the lieutenants and cadets they were told were to go and when they attack.I asked them to get trained and they asked me if we can leave to attack tomorrow, I had accepted what they said and said “I will see you tomorrow”.
February 9 1916
We were preparing to do our next attack to the enemy base. I got my guns and got ready to train. Our commander had ordered us to first exercise but then he said to test the skill of our partner. So after we had done that we were commanded to test our swimming skills so if we were to hide from the enemy we can hide in water. Also we were instructed to run a race with everyone so we can be more fit. Then it was time to leave and we were tired and worn out and we all went home.

The finger eater
The finger eater
The finger eater is a novel book by Dick-King-Smith and it is about this monster that is called Ulf. Other people around the village are scared of him because their middle fingers were bitten off by Ulf. He also has very sharp teeth so when he goes up to someone he just bites their finger off. Ulf’s trick is, when nobody heard of him he goes to people pretending to shake hand but then he eats their finger and goes back to his hole where he lives.
My favourite character is Ulf because I like monsters
and he is small like me and he has sharp teeth, the only thing I don’t like about him is the color of his skin.
I recommend this book 6-8 because because it is a junior novel and some kids at a younger age can be scared.
