Miro G's book report

Attack of the Furball

Today we did a book report about our DEAR (Drop everything and read) book. The book I did was Star Wars- Attack of the Furball. It was hard to find a book because I haven't finished my DEAR book yet so I had to choose another one.

Jedi Academy- Attack of the Furball

Title: Jedi Academy- Attack of the Furball
Author: Amy Ignatow and Jarrett J. Krosoczka
Type of book: Fiction

This book is about a girl called Christina Starspeeder who goes to a Jedi Academy on Jedha. It is a story about Star Wars.
She is in a forest destroying illegal loggers when she finds and rescues a baby Nexu, which is a type of animal from Star Wars.
Then her Nexu gets stolen, and she has to save it.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves Star Wars!

Curtis' Facts about Matariki

6 true facts about Matariki
There are more than 7 stars in the cluster if you look at a picture of it then you should be able to see more than 7 as proof.
the 7 stars are named Pleiades clusters, or seven sisters, or m45.
The 7 stars are all sibling but in the seven sisters myth, one is their mother.
The Pleiades star cluster is made from gas and dust some were 100 million years ago.
The Zuni of New Mexico call the Pleiade stars the (Seed Stars)
To see more than six or seven stars in the cluster you need to have very good eyesight.

Today for my literacy medals I have chosen to do the Matariki facts.
I liked how it was kind of easy.
I disliked that it was hard to find the facts.
