Title: War Horse
Author: Michael Morpurgo
Publisher: Scholastic
First Published: 1982
This is a story about a boy called Albert and his horse Joey. Joey ends
up going to the war. Albert is determined that they will re-unite. Joey serves
on both sides of the war. Halfway through the way when he meets a ten year old
girl called Emilie. Eventually Albert finds Joey and rides Joey home. They live
happily ever after.
The one part in the story I liked was when Joey was re-united with
Albert, because when Albert rides Joey back to the farm and Joey sleeps
alongside old Zoey back in the stable.
The part in the book I thought
could have been improved was when Captain Nicholls got shot off Joey. Michael
Morpurgo could at least have written anther paragraph.
Overall I thought this story was very good and interested me throughout
the whole story and gave me a good picture throughout. I recommend this story to
10 years old and above because younger children might not know some of the
formal Language.

We were asked to research one aspect of the history of flight. We had to put our ideas into paragraphs. How do you think I did?
The Jet Engine
In 1920 Frank whittle stared making the first jet engine. Believe it or not I actually thought jet were made in the early 1800. Anyway the jet engine was trialled in a N3 Hornet well a short name for a jet plane and it worked.
The jet engine over the last 20 years has been improving and getting faster and faster. Did you know that the jet flies at 550 km an hour.
Jet engine works on a number of different fuels and fans. Fans pull the air through the turbo jet and forces it out again.
In conclusion, the jet engine was an important thing to be able to fly fast and it just made things a lot easier.
