Comic Questions Answer these questions about your comic, giving as much detail as possible. What is the message in your story? Don’t take a bad risk that will make your situation worse. What was your favourite part in the story and why?When he doesn't spill the beans and the frogs stay alive. How did you feel about the ending to your story and why?It was boring because it just finished and we didn’t know what happened to him. Why do you think people write comics?Because they are short so you don’t have to write much and you already know what the story line is. If you could change one thing about your comic what would it be and why? Make it longer and a better ending because it didn’t really get enough information out to make it a good story.

This week I have done all the main things and this is the last thing I really need to do and I have just started on my comic book and have done one of the tasks for it.

Yesterday day we had athletics and it was really hot and I didn't wear sun screen and through our the day I forgot to put it on. Our first thing was high jump which was my favourite but it took too long so we had to do it later. Then we had the races which I don't really like and I didn't really like anything else but when we finished high jump I came second and Valentino came first. We jumped the same height but he got it on his first go.

It was hard to get all the work finished this week because I had my IE and the creation was hard and every time I tested it I had to remake it and I made it three times. I finished read theory and then on Thursday we rode the go kart because we haven't rid it in ages.
