 Book Review

Malala Yousafzai Against The Odds

Author: Claire Thorp 

Would you like to hear a thrilling story of a young girl who doesn’t want anything
but education?

This book is set in the present day in the Southern Asia, Pakistan. Pakistan’s
neighbours are China, India, Afghanistan and Iran.

Malala Yousafzai Against The Odds tells the story of how women weren’t allowed
their rights in Pakistan and how Malala stood up for women's rights to have the
freedom that they needed. 

Malala Yousafzai is a girl who was born with talent. Malala and other women in
Pakistan weren’t allowed to have freedom, but Malala stood up for her rights
and kept doing what she loved. Women weren’t allowed to go into town without a
male. Malala thought that was wrong. Women weren’t allowed to go to school.
Malala’s father, (Ziauddin Yousafzai) set up a school for girls, there were
only two rooms in that school. Malala’s Mother (Tor Pekai) couldn’t read or write
because of the way that they were treated. 

Malala has been an inspiration to people all over the world to make peace. Malala
visited Nigeria where over 200 women had been kidnapped and sold for slaves.
She met with the parents of the kidnapped girls and she tried to persuade the
Nigerian President to raise enough money so that the parents can go see their
girls that have escaped. Eventually he decided to do it and they got to go see
their kids. I feel very sad that there are still Nigerian Women being used as slaves.

Personally this book is my favourite one yet. It’s a really good inspiration to
people and I think people all over the world should read it. For me I think the a
ge group for people to read is 10+.

Lake Daniell

Lake Daniell Responses

On Wednesday the 12th of June, Room 8 & 1 went on a

tramp to Lake Daniell. I went with my dad, he came

along as well. In my car group was Summer & Aimee, my

dad stopped at the petrol station and got us some Lollies!

Everyone stopped at Reefton for a toilet stop. Everyone went exploring and there was a BMX track. Ms Kemp called all of

us back in then we started to drive again.

When we got to the Marble Hill car park by Lake Daniell

we had to wait for the other cars to arrive.Before we

started the

walk we did a number off to know that everyone is here.

We started to walk and the nature was really fascinating.

We had a scavenger hunt to do and in my group was Jennae

& Brighid. The scavenger hunt was really hard. There was a

Long Tailed bat on there but they sleep during the day.

There was also a Blue duck, these birds are endangered.

Later on in the tramp we were super close to the hut & the

lake. When we got there Summer put her go-pro in the water

and it was so clear. We ate lunch, and went on the Jeti and

started to walk back.

As we were walking back Dakota showed me the Ice Cream

Plant you can eat. But the thing is that it is

the opposite of Ice Cream, it’s super spicy and burns

your tongue.

It was horopito!

I held back a bit to hang with my dad, we talked a lot,
it was really fun having my dad on the tramp.

When we got back we had to wait 20 minutes for the boys to

get there because they were taking super long but they were

going at their own pace. When we got back to school at 5:30ish,
everyone was super sore and ready for bed.
