William Pike Challenge Award

On Tuesday the 16th of March we were cooking for the William PIke Challenge Award. Hunter and I cooked tomato soup, I did most of the hard work.  The rest of the class got to make what they wanted to make.

When the class was cooking Hunter and I were in the staff room making our tomato soup for the William Pike Challenge.

For the William Pike Challenge I am looking forward to surfing, rock climbing, port hills hike, Arthurs Pass, cave stream and abseiling and raft building, I am looking forward to these activities because they will be great opportunities for me and my class.

‘Wonder’ - First person point of view

Our writing task last week was to write a short essay explaining what point of view R.J Palacio used when writing ‘Wonder’. We also had to find examples from the text; also I found quotes to back up what we thought. It had to have an introduction, 3 paragraphs and a conclusion. I am really interested in what the characters have to say about August.

I can’t wait to read more. We also had to write a conclusion

‘Wonder’ is a story about a boy who feels ordinary on the inside, but he is always reminded of how different he is by how people respond when they see him. This is R.J Palacio’s first novel and it is written in the first person.

     

Firstly I think It’s in first person because he says,

‘I know I’m not an ordinary 10 year old kid.’

Secondly I think It’s in first person because he says,

‘I’ve never been to a real school before.

Thirdly I think It’s in first person because he says,

‘I can’t say I didn’t always want to go to school’ because that wouldn’t be exactly true.’

Therefore In ‘Wonder’, Palacio uses the first person point of view to tell the story. The book ‘Wonder’ is written in first person.
