Dear Parents and Students,
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Summer is almost here and this is the final opportunity to show off some student work!
I think “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” is a really interesting book. The sequel of Hunger games, it continues with how Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games and gets chosen again by the Capitol The book focuses on how Katniss and Haymich (Katniss and Peeta’s mentor) try to keep Peeta alive. This time only one Tribute can continue alive! I like this book because it was really intereseting and kept me Reading all day. “The Hunger Games” sequel continues the story and makes the reader feel what Katnis feels. I’m killing myself imagining what happens in the 3rd book.
I will take the opportunity to remind you that the British Council summer term ends on Friday 13th June. Your children’s reports will be available on-line as of this date and as always, our teachers will be available to comment on your child’s progress if you are able to come on this day.

But Greg has a secret diary and his important hobby is protecting the diary from the jerks and punches from his brother, Roderick, but one day Roderick takes his diary. The following night Greg takes his diary out of roderick’s hand s and goes to the restarurant bathroom to destroy it, but when he has reduced the diary to tiny paper pieces he notices that he is in the girl’s bathroom. The next day, Roderick notices Greg’s bathroom accident and he says to Greg that he won’t tell on him if he wants to protect his secrets. However, Greg has to film an important event for Roderick and he messes it up and Roderick is so angry he ends up telling everyone Greg’s secret. Miguel Sánchez Junior 2
Our Junior 1 clases have been studying “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” by Roald Dahl. Have a feast on some great opinions! Charlie the Superhero Charlie is a very poor boy who lives with his parents, his grandpas and his grandmas. One day they learn five lucky children are going to visit the chocolate factory. If I were a carácter I would want to participate and go to Mr Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory because it would be very funny. A few days later there aren’t any tickets left. One of the children who finds the five golden tickets are: Augustus Gloop is a greedy boy. I don’t like Augustus gloop because he wants everything and he doesn’t care about the other children. Violet Beuregard is always eating chewing gum, she is posh and she feels superior. I don’t like Violet Beuregard because she is disgusting. She sticks the chewing gum to the lifts. Veruca Salt is a posh girl and she feels superior. I don’t like Veruca Salt because she feels superior. Mike Teavee is addicted to video games and T.V. I don’t like Mike Teavee because I don’t want to be addicted to anything. And finally Charlie is a very poor boy. I like him because he isn’t like the other children. They go to a delicious factory with Mr. Willy Wonka. Something happens to all four children except Charlie. Augustus Gloop goes up the pipe, Violet Beuregard becomes a blueberry, Veruca Salt goes with the squirrels and atey push he into the rubbish chute, and Mike Teavee becomes small. Charlie wins and he goes to live in the chocolate factory. I like this book and the film too. It is very funny but it was a little bit long. I would recommend it because if I love this book a lot I think other people will too. Paula Carbonero Junior 1A
A Dream Book This book develops in the fantastic chocolate factory. Where all kids would like to live, directed by Willy Wonka, the fantastic chocolate producer. For me this carácter is a little bit crazy and strange. Then we have the four greedy and spoiled kids: Augustus Gloop, greedy to eat, Mike Teavee, greedy with electronic things, Violet Beauregard, chewing gum all day and Veruca Salt who wants everything. And then we have my favourite one, the poor but angelic boy, CHARLIE BUCKET with his grandpa Joe. This is how the story starts… Charlie is a very poor boy who loves chocolate. Willy Wonka sends out five golden tickets. The ones who find them will have the opportunity to enter his factory. Augustus, Violet, Veruca, Mike and Charlie are the five lucky kids. One by one the kids disappear. Augustus goes up a pipe, Violet becomes a blueberry, Veruca goes down the rubbish chute and Mike becomes little. This is the part that I like because it’s very satisfactory. I would recommend this book because it’s funny and amazing with all the adventures and feelings. Alejandra Galiana Junior 1A
The Book of Greed This book is about a poor boy called Charlie Bucket. I like him very much. The main characters of the story are: Willy Wonka, Charlie Bucket, Grandpa Joe, Violet Beauregard, Augustus gloop, Veruca Salt and Mike Teavee. The chocolate factory is the biggest and the most amazing factory in the world. It has a lot of rooms. I think the book is a little bit fantastic because it has things like Oompaa Loompaas and things that happen that aren’t real. In the story, things happen to the characters because they are really greedy, but these things are fantasy. Augustus Loop falls into a chocolate river, Violet Beauregard becomes a blueberry, Veruca Salt falls down a rubbish chute, and finally Mike Teavee become a little, tiny, tiny boy. Charlie is the only one left. All the children are taught a hard lesson by Willy Wonka. The main theme of the book is greed. Each kid is greedy in a different way. Augustus is greedy for food, Violet is greedy for gum, Veruca, when she wants something, she says, “Iwant this!!!” and Mike Teavee is greedy for TV. I would recommend this book because it is funny and the moral tells you that you shouldn’t be greedy, or something else will happen to you. Jaime Gómez
A Very Chocolate History I would recommend this book for children because it is very exciting, amazing and fantastic. I think the book is fantastic because it tells the story of a poor boy who lives with his family and he wins a ticket to go to the chocolate factory and there he sees a lot of amazing things. From my point of view, the best part of this book is when Charlie bucket meets Willy Wonka and the Oompa Loompas. The Oompa Loompas are little men who help Willy Wonka with the factory and they are all the same person. My favourite character is Charlie, because he is the best child: he is nice and he helps his family. Ther are more characters like Augustus Gloop, Violet Beauregard, Veruca Salt and Mike Teavee. The worst for me is Veruca Salt because she is very greedy and se does what she wants. Allegra Junior 1A
A Dreamy Experience in the Factory I think this book is a bit of fantasy, and I would recommend it because it is amazing and funny. It has a very beautiful story, and makes my mouth water because it tells about a lot of different and strange sweets. It’s about five different children who win a golden ticket to go to Mr Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. The make a trip through the cholocalate factory. There is also another main character. It’s Grandpa Joe. In the end one of the five children wins a very special prize. Willy Wonka is one of my favourite characters. He is funny and a bit cruel. He makes many new things. Another character is Augustus Gloop. He is addicted to eating a lot. I don’t like that character because he is fat and greedy. Veruca Salt is a very posh and greedy character. She wants all she sees. I don’t like this character because she is very addicted to chewing gum and that is bad for your health. I think if I’m chewing gum a lot of time I’m going to have a tooth ache. Mike Teavee is addicted to watching television and playing games on electronic things. I don’t like Mike Teavee because watching television is bad and it is more difficult to have friends playing TV games all day. The last character is Charlie Bucket, a poor and special character. I like this character because he doesn’t feel superior and is the one who respects things. This book is full of special things. I like it very much. Jenny Cuesta Junior 1
Lucky Charlie Charlie is a very poor boy. His father is the only person that has a job in the family. One day, Charlie finds 50 pence and buys a chocolate bar and finds a Golden ticket, and then decides to go with Grandpa Joe to the factory. The main characters are Charlie: I like this boy because he is very honest and very generous; Grandpa Joe: I like this carácter too because he is incredible and a very good person; Willy Wonka: I don`t like him because it is like he doesn`t care what happens to other people; Augustus Gloop: I don’t like him either because he ‘s not a bad person but he is stingy; Veruca Salt: she is the worst person in the world and I don’t like her beacuse she is a girl without respect; Violet Beuregard, I don’t like her because she has an obsession and it’s bad; Mike Teavea: I like him because he is a Little bit like me but he plays a lot more video games.. I would recommend this book because it is fun, but I don’t like that Charlie is the only normal person because it is a discrimination. Guillermo Junior 1
