Number The Stars by 658

Characters

The characters are: Anne-Marie, Ellen, Mr and Mrs Johansen, the Rosens, Peter and Lise. The main characters are: Anne Marie, Ellen, Mr and Mrs Johansen and the Rosens. The Germans are the bad characters in the story. Kirsty is Anne-Marie’s little sister. Ellen is Anne-Maries best friend.

Jewish People

Every Jewish person had to wear the star of David. In the war the star of David was a big yellow star. The Germans made the Jewish people wear them so they can take them away to the gas camps.

Hardships

The bad thing about the war was the Danish people missed out on lots of things. They had no meat. They didn’t have any tea or coffee.  Also they had no cup cakes.

Bravery

The bravest person in the story is Peter. Both Peter and Lise worked in the Resistance.  The Resistance is a people’s army. Lise died when she was in the Resistance.

My Opinion

My opinion on the book is that I really liked it.  My favourite character is Ellen. I don’t like the Germans.

Characters

Peter is a brave man to sacrifice himself. It’s very good that Peter helped stop the war. It was cool that Peter saved the Jewish people.

Hardships

It’s not fair that in World War Two people couldn’t eat meat. Why are people not allowed to have cup cakes? There was no butter or sugar to make them.

Bravery

Peter is a very brave man to save all the Jewish people. I say thank you for saving the Jews.

My opinion

It was good but sad. I felt happy for the characters that lived. I recommend this book.

Due to industrial action on Friday, the PE week timetable has changed somewhat.

Monday

9.00 Opening ceremony

9.20 – 11.50 Years 3/4/5 House team games

Tuesday

Wednesday

9.00 – 11.50 Sprint heats and finals, Championship relays and Big relay and Shield Presentation. (includes recess 10.40 – 11.20)

Please remember to apply sunblock before school and bring some with you to reapply at recess time.

Sun safe clothing must be worn – make sure shoulders are covered

It would be a good idea to pack two water bottles and keep one in our class fridge for after recess.

Afternoons and Thursday will follow our usual class timetable.  Friday will be a school closure day due to the teachers’ strike.

Sorry for any inconveniance with these changes,

Number The Stars by “Jeff Hardy”

There is a silly little girl called Kirsti. Her sister is called Annemarie. She is a teenager. Her friend is called Ellen. She is also a teenager.

The star of David represents the Jewish people that go to church. And the Germans hunt them down and sometimes execute them.

The Germans banned newspapers so the people didn’t know anything and they confiscated dairy products and ate them with their army. And they couldn’t go out at a certain time.

Peter and Lise were very brave because they were in the Resistance. Sometimes not knowing stuff is better because if you know you will have to act and if you don’t know it’s easy to pretend it.

They Germans were very mean and stupid and they were very greedy. Also they were savages and weren’t fair also very careless.
