Boy by Roald Dahl

I was told by a  clever man to read 'Boy' by Roald Dahl.   I knew that this same author wrote the BFG, Charlie and the chocolate factory.  BFG is one of my favourites!

Back to Boy!   I really enjoyed reading this book.  I won't spoil it for you, I'll give you just a few hints.

If you want to read about a young clever boy who found things tough but still 'Strives to succeed' (our school motto) then you really need to read this book.


 It is very entertaining AND will have you wanting to read more.  It's a page turner!
Thanks Mr Dale for telling me about this awesome book!

Every year the year eights go to a leadership camp and train to be better leaders.

And this year I got to go on this camp along with the year eights of 2018.

I was most excited about the activities that we would do, there was  archery,air rifles,paintballing and much more.

But one of my favorite activities was the go cart.

As I waited in line for what felt like all day it was finally my turn I put a helmet on and got in and started  driving,

It felt like I was going  100 miles per hour as I flew past the cones mud flicked from the front tyres on to my face now my vision went blurry.

I had just pass the start line and I could barely see were I was going

I drifted  around a sharp corner  and swerved around a cone finally

But sadly my turn was over.
