Rags to Riches
Today we did a game called Rags to Riches were we answer questions and if we get it right we get more money. I really enjoyed this game because it was really intense if you got one wrong you would have to start again. There are 15 questions and I got all of them right. Next time I hope we can play a game just like this.

The Bubblegum Machine
Activity 1
Discuss the choice of character names chosen by the author.
Ms Goo - I think it goes with her she loves the gobbledy goo machine that oozed and made gum.
Lucy - I think that lucy is a okay name but I would like something like Emma or maybe even Olivia.
Mr Chew - This is a good name also because he also works at the bubble gum shop.
Ms Blewitt - I don’t know if it really goes with style and everything else I would call her Emily.

Activity 4
