What you need A4 paper Scissors Scraps of wrapping paper Glue Paint or crayons How you do it This is your creation so you choose how you want to design your boats. The following is an example of what you can do: Cut out your sailboats and sails, trying to make sure that one sail is bigger than the other. Paint the sky first by starting with a layer of a light colour like yellow. Without washing your brush, mix some yellow and red together and paint over the top of the yellow. Paint the sea by using a mixture of blue and green. PS. For greater effect, don’t mix the colours very well. While the sea is still wet, use a plastic fork (or table fork if you’re allowed!) to create the waves. When the background is dry, glue on your sailing boats. When you have finished your creation you could scan it or take a photo and upload it to the Summer Reading Club website E-gallery. Fantastic! www.summerreadingclub.slq.qld.gov.au 8 The order of the compass points can be hard to remember, which is why people use fun sentences, rhymes, songs or names called a mnemonic to help them remember the order of things or even how to spell tricky words: Never Eat Soggy Weetbix is a mnemonic for North East South West Make up your own fun mnemonic to remember the order of the compass points and write them below.

Rye lives in a walled city called Weld, on the island of Dorne, with his mother and two older brothers. He and his family know very little of what is outside the Wall, only that it is a dangerous world from which they are wise to shelter. However, for several years their city has been besieged in summer by skimmers: savage, bat-like creatures that fly in hordes over the Wall from somewhere outside Weld, looking for human and animal prey. The Warden of Weld offers a large reward to any young man who can find and defeat the Enemy sending the skimmers. Rye’s adventurous eldest brother Dirk is among the first to volunteer. And when he does not return, Rye’s second brother, solitary, studious Sholto, leaves in search of the source of the skimmer menace.

At the Wise Woman Sheba’s command, Rowan must set out on a final quest to save his land—the most dangerous journey yet. It is winter in Rin, but no one remembers a winter like it. It has lasted far too long. Some say the Mountain has cursed Rin, while others believe the extended winter may be a natural part of the land’s cycles. Having settled in Rin as escaped slaves three centuries ago, the people of Rin have no record of what happened before they arrived. One thing is certain, the villagers must leave for the coast at once, or they will die from lack of food. But Rowan has decided to stay with the bukshah herd, and save as many as he can, for without the wool, milk and labour the bukshah provide, there will be nothing for the villagers to come back to when the winter finally ends.
