Session Six - Friday March 21

Our blog
We had a good look around the blog on Friday and showed everyone where they can comment. All Lit club members are encouraged to get involved on the blog - we want to hear about what you are reading and we just have not time to hear from everyone at Lit Club on a Friday.

We are beginning to add the book reviews to the book review page so keep an eye on the changes and get involved!!

A notice has gone home to parents with a generic lit club email and password that the members can use to comment on the blog of parents are unhappy with setting up gmail accounts.

Summer Passports
For all those who handed in their summer passports we held a draw on Friday with some excellent prizes. @ people received $20 tines vouchers and 2 people received new sets of headphones.

Look - It's me and a book!
The Holiday photo draw was completed at Assembly with two prizes for Teams Rutherford and Sheppard and two prizes for Teams Batten and Hillary


This Week's  Book
Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made
 written by Stephan Pastis

Watch the trailer here



In the style of Diary of a Wimpy KidTimmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made by Stephan Pastis follows a kid detective with a polar bear business partner.



“My name is Failure. Timmy Failure. I am the founder, President and CEO of the best detective agency in town, probably in the world. Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made is a historical record of my life as a detective. It has been rigorously fact-checked. All the drawings in here are by me. I tried to get my business partner to do the illustrations, but they were not good.”

Timmy Failure: Now Look What You've Done
 written by Stephan Pastis





The clueless, comically self-confident kid detective returns in a sequel to the New York Times bestseller Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made.

"When you lose hope, find it." —Timmy Failure

He doesn’t like to pull rank. To reveal that he’s this guy: Timmy Failure, founder, president, and CEO of the greatest detective agency in town, perhaps the nation. But he is. 

And he’s about to crack the biggest case of his generation: a school competition to find a stolen globe. It’s his ticket to bringing home a $500 prize, which is guaranteed to set him up for life. But someone is clearly trying to game the system. Hoodwink. Con. Defraud. So it’s up to Timmy Failure, with the dubious help of Total, his lazy polar-bear partner, and his unlikely new ally, eccentric Great-Aunt Colander, to find a way to avenge these shenanigans. Defeat this injustice.
If he can only get his entry form in on time.

  1. I've been reading the 13-storey treehouse by Andy Griffiths which is a very hilarious book because Andy and Terry have lots of problems. I'm really enjoying it because it makes me laugh out loud!
