Charlie is a freshman.
And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it.
The perks of being a Wallflower is a funny but sad book. It is written from the main character Charlie's point of view in a collection of letters addressed to 'friend'.
This book shows the ups and downs of Charlie's slightly complicated life and makes Charlie's life seem like your second world.
I really enjoyed this book because of the way the author used the words. I'd give it a 4/5 and I'd recommend it to older readers because it does have quite mature themes in it.

The terrible thing that happened to Barnaby Brocket
Normal. Barnaby Brocket is a normal eight year old boy... sort of. Barnaby was born with one difference, he floats. His parents (who thinks he's a disaster) will do anything to make the family normal, which leads to the unthinkable. Barnaby's world turns upside down, literally. He tries to accomplish an exiting adventure which takes him from Brazil to New York, from Canada to Ireland. On the way he meets loving, caring friends who who understand his way of life.
I think this book will be enjoyed by eleven years an older, it's an"edge of you're seat book" that you can't put down.
9/10 "Awesome" Christopher.

Gardening Ideas
Hello, this is the plan that Jed, Lawson and Christopher have made for the garden outside Jenny's office please we would love to hear your thoughts about it we welcome your comments on this post.
Things you may need to know...
* There is a path which will be gravel from the concrete steps besides the kitchen that leads down to the bottom field steps and breaks
off to go the path besides Jenny's office beside the bank planting.
* We are putting in a outdoor working space beside the kitchen and boys toilet there will be three 1-3 metre high trees from some shade and it will be compacted gravel.
* We would like to take out the planter box and putting it with two others right up against Jenny's office, each class will take care of one planter box each.
* We are looking for places we can ask for grants and fundraising. If you have any ideas please leave a comment or contact the school.
* Help will be required on working bees. If you have any equipment or skill i.e digger or landscaping expertise that may help please contact school.

Bigger Zoos.
Zoos should be bigger in animals natural environments with the animals pray and predators.
First, animals could live in their own environments. If animals could live in their own environments it would help them learn to hunt for food, because when they are kept in cages they can't learn to survive in the wild. Animals can also get the food they need to stay healthy so we find less sick animals. Animals need to live in their own environments not artificial habitats.
Second of all, if zoos were like this they would be cheaper to run therefore they would be less expensive to visit. People should not have to pay a fortune to stare at helpless animals who walk up and down concrete floors in agony day after day. Say "no," to expensive zoos.
Finally, animals would be safe from human danger and still have their freedom. People think animals are safe in zoos, they may be safe however have you taken the time to look at the pathetic sized cages we shove them in? Just think how you would feel if you were put in a cage less than half the size you needed. Some People call zoos "reliable, delightful, effective and sensational" I strongly disagree, animals need space to explore and be safe from human danger.

Zoos Are Good For Animals
Zoos are good for animals
Zoos are good for learning and supporting education. they well help in the future when people don't have the knowledge about animals or there habitats.
Zoos are good for sick and endangered species as well some zoos Have breeding programmes witch rules out the risk of extinction for that spices zoos help the injured animals and fix them up.
Zoos are good for animals if well treated,looked after and feed yes some zoos are cruel to animals but it depends on the zoo and its staff the zoos should be shut down if animals are not treated appropriately.
Zoos are good for seeing animals that you would not see in the Wild and that are to dangers to see I have experience in zoos because I work at an animal farm and i know that some zoos and people treat animals terribly.
I think the purpose of zoos should be to help and care for animals and release them once they are good and healthy.
so would you like to live in a world with out animals ?

bigger zoos
Animals should not have to suffer for the liking of humans. These habitats should be at least the size of two rugby fields so animals could have the freedom they need including proper food, water and environment which would mean they could live the way that they want.
Secondly, animals could hunt for their own food, look for their own mate, keep fit, wouldn't get bored, live a short, happy life instead of a long, lonely, boring life with the zoo keepers controlling every move that they do.
Third these enclosures would be far away from human pollution or destruction like huge factories, city smog, wrong climate and poachers. this way animals would be away from human abuse but we could go and see the animals.
Forth the cost, most zoos are always needing more money for more artificial rocks, plants, water holes, shelters etc. This way habitats would already include NATURAL rocks, plants, water holes, and animals could sleep were they want. Which would mean zoos wouldn't need as much money so people wouldn't have to pay as much to go and see the animals.
Fifth most animals live in groups of their own kind like lions ,orangutans, elephants,buffalo etc.
In zoos animals are put in cages with only one of them in there causing the animal to feel home sick lonely feverish and disrespected.
Would you like to be in a tiny cage with know where to go but the feeding room?
This is why I highly disagree with the zoos now-a-days.
