Book review ⑨

My Green was ill for a long time. Sam kept her promise, and took his dog, Scrap, for awalk every day after school. Mrs Green was very grateful. She always invited Sam in for a cup of tea and a slice of homemade cake, to say thank you.
Sam got to know Mrs Greenvery well. She wasn't at all like her husband. He always seemed so grumpy, but she was cheerful and kind. He liked to tell people off, and he never listened to what anyone said. But she was a good listener, and Sam found she could talk to her about everything.
Mt Green never had tea with them. He stayed in bed. Sometimes, Sam could hear him coughing in the room above. She was sorry he was ill, but she was glad he couldn't come down for tea, because she was frightened of him. Be sides, she liked having Mrs green to herself.
One day, when Sam tool Scrap home after his walk, Mrs Green came to the door looking very happy and excited.
Mr Green was sitting in an armchair, looking out of the window. He was wearing a dressing gown and slippers. He didn't turn round when they came in. Mrs Green told Sam to take a seat, while she went to put the kettle on. Sam thought she should try to be polite, so she said to Mr Green, but he just went on gazing at the garden, ignoring her. After that, they sat in silence. Sam wasn't going to try to talk to him if he was going to be so rude!
At last, Mrs Green stopped rattling aabout in the kitchen and came through with the tea. She tapped her husband on the shoulder, and he glanced round at her. She yelled so loudly, Sam nearly jumped out of her skin. Mrs Green appeared to notice Sam for the first time. He said a gruff hello, and thanked her for walking Scrap. Mr Green cupped his hand behind his ear.Sam explained loundly that she had always wanted a dog of her own to look after someone ekse's dog for a while was a real treat.Mr Green nodded. He got up to look among the framed photos on the piano top. All these years she had known Mr Green, she had not realised he was deaf. It must be horrible not being able to hear what anyone was saying. No wonder he got so grumpy! No wonder he never seemed to listen! He handed her a photo of a boy holding a little terrier like Scrap. The boy looked far too smiley to be Mr Green. He shook his head.
Sam knew that in the Second World War, some city children had been sent to live in the countryside, away from the bombing. But she didn't know dogs could be evacuated, too. Mr Green shrugged. But I think most of them were just excited by all the new sights, sounds and smells, like me. When I got on that train, I had never been on a train before in my life. It's hard to imagine nowadays, but I had never been away from home! It was a great adventure. Some of the other children were crying, and we had no idea where we were going. But I couldn't wait to see what the countryside was like. I had these new boots on. All the evacuees were supposed to have them, because there was so much mud in the country. I thought there would be puddles of mud everywhere, and all the people would be covered in it! When we finally got off the train, I was really disappointed. The station was in a town, and we had to walk down an ordinary toad to the reception centre, which was just a church hall. They put us all in a line, and peoplecame to choose which children they wanted to take. That part was not nice. I was plaing I wouldn't be the last one to get chosen. But then this huge man with a red face and hairy hands stepped forward with his wife. She was nearly as big as he was and had arms as thick as tree trunks. They picked out six of the older children, including me. I was scared, I can tell you. They had a farm outside the town. We followed them along the road, and then the houses ran out and we found ourselves in a narrow country lane. The sky was enormous, and the fields seemed to go on forever. There was so much space, it made me light-headed. Suddenly, I was in a different world, and there was no turning back.
Mr Green continued the story. The farmer was called Mr Hardy. He expected us all to do our share of the work, because some of the farm-hands had gone to fight in the war, and he couldn't manage on his own. But we didn't mind at all. It made us feel grown up, and besides, most of the jobs we did were quite enjoyable. One of the older boys drove the tractor. The girls helped in the kitchen, and looked after the vegetable garden. My job was helping with the animals. I think it's an imagine! Before I went to the farm, I had never ever seen a sheep, a cow or a pig. I had never seen a horse out of its harness. I thought all the animals were terrifying. I was even afraid of the chickens! I remember the first time Mr Hardy sent me to feed them - they saw the corn bucket and came running towards me. I turned tail and ran! I thought they were attacking me. Mr Green chuckled, remembering. Mr Green said that was a very interesting question, and it had a very interesting answer, too. It was probably his gentle way with animals that drew Tilly to him. She arrived on the train a few weeks after the children. She had a label on her collar, and a letter from her owners. Months of air raids had made her nervous and unhappy, and they thought it might be better for her to be in the countryside for a while.
But Tilly was very unhappy at first. She was terrified of everything. Sudden noises made her run and hide. She spent most of her time cowering in corners. The only person she would allow near her was Mr Green. He fed her and looked after her. He let her sleep on the end of his bed. He helped her to get her confidence back, and they became the firmest of friends. Sam wondered what happened after the war. Mr Green said Tilly stayed on the farm for several months after the children had left. Her house had been destroyed by a bomb, and her owners were homeless for a while. He never saw her again. But he often thought about her. He wrote to Mr Hardy to see how she was getting on without him, and the farmer sent him a copy of the photo. Looking at it always reminded him of his time with Tilly on the farm. Sam had never seen him smile before. She glanced at the boy in the picture, and now she could see the likeness. Mr Green got up and put the photo back on the piano. He mumbled something, and shuffled out of the room. Scrap jumped up onto Sam's knee and Sam gave him a hug. A few days later, Mr Green gave Sam a copy of the photo. She was delighted. She had really enjoyed having tea with Mr Green.
I think the animals are so cute. This story was fun!

Book Review ⑧

Mr Johnson took this class away for the week . They went to a big house called Seabay House. Mrs may went too. The children were excited. I think I want to do there. Seabay House was near the sea and there were lots of interesting things to do. Everyone unloaded the bus. Mrs Johnson gave the children a map. Then he took the children for a long walk. After a while they stopped for a rest. Mrs Johnson showed them the places they could see. I think there is nice palce.
Everyone was hungry after the long walk. When they got back it was time for supper. The children served the food, and then they helped wash up.
That night the children were tired but they could't sleep. I think children is so excited. In the end, Mr Johnson came in. He was cross with Chip. They was angry.
The next day, the children did a beach study. Some children worked with Mr Johnson. They made squares on the beach and looked at everything in each square. Biff found a shell with a crab inside it. Some children worked with Mrs May. They looked carefully in all the rock pools. Nadim and Wiff caught a large crab. Mrs May showed them how to hold the crab. I know it. It's very dengarous. Chiop and Anneena found a seagull. It couldn't fly. I think it's so sad.
My Johnson took the vhildren to see Mrs Honey. She look ed at Anneena and Chip.
Mrs Honey looked after all kinds of animals. She showed the children an otter. Then she gave it some fish.The children went across to Greenisland in the boat. Mrs Honey stopped a little way from the island. The children looked carefully. Suddenly. Anneena pointed to some rocks.
Mrs Honey let Fiona go. The otter dived into the sea and swam towards the rocks.
Mrs Honey took the boat to the other side of the island. The children jumped out of the boat and went to look around the island. The children saw a small cave. They ran to see it. But when they got to the cave, they found something else. In the cave were some drums. Suddenly, Chip and Wilf ran up to Mr Johnson.
The boat stopped at the island and four people got out. They lifted some drums out of the boat and began to carry them towards the cave.
The children did what Mrs Honey told them. They ran to the boat with Mrs May and climbed in. Wilf and Chip pushed the boat out with the oars and Mrs May started the engine.
Mrs Honey's idea worked. She and Mr Johnson had taken the other boat. The other people couldn't get off the island without it.
The plice took the people off the island.
At the end of the week, there was a party. Mrs May played her guitar and everyone sang songs. Mrs Honey came. She told the children stories about some of the animals she had looked after. A photographer came. She made everyone stand in a group. Then she took a photogaraph.
The next day the story of Green Island was in the newspaper. The children were excited.
I think the children is great.
