Hermes: The Messenger of the Greek Gods

Front: Back: 

His story:

Baby Hermes broke out of his cradle and stole his brother Apollo’s cows. 

Apollo took Hermes to Their father Zeus to answer for it, but Hermes was too cute and charming he was able to get of of any punishment. 

Hermes gave Apollo a lyre he had just invented as an apology and got the caduceus and set on Olympus as the god’s messenger.

Hermes is in charge of boundaries, borders and edges. 

As well as this, he's also in charge of things that cross borders, messages,  travellers. 

 He is the messenger of the Greek god. His father, Zeus, often sends him to Earth when he has something to say to a person.

The symbols of the Greek God includes "the herms, the rooster, the tortoise, purse or pouch, winged sandals, and winged cap".

 His main symbol is the "Greek : kerykeion" or "Latin : caduceus", which appears in a form of two snakes wrapped around a winged staff.

Hermes’ father is Zeus and his mother is Maia. The children of Hermes is Angelia and Pan.

Grandpa's Great Escape - Recount

Today I have decided to write a recount on the book Grandpa's Great Escape for the first 5 chapters.

In these 5 chapters the reader gets to know Jack, the main character, and how he loves listening to Grandpa's stories. World War II stories. How Grandpa risked his life to keep the people of Britain free. Grandpa is getting old and he is starting to forget things. Near the end, in the middle of the night, Grandpa ends up on the highest pint of the church spire thinking he is flying his spitfire.

David Walliams Biography

Today I have decided to write biography on my favourite author David Walliams.

David Walliams is a famous comedian, author, actor and a television activist. He was born on the 20th of August 1971. In 2012, he became a judge on Britain's Got Talent and he has acted on BBC One, sitcom Big School. David is a fantastic author for children with great silly imagination. He has always been compared to Dahl. He has published over 4 million copies in 2014! People say his stories are "well written, funny, touching". He truly is the new Roald Dahl, or modern Dahl.  "Dahl finally has a worthy successor" says the telegraph. The Sue Townsend, Guardian said "I absolutely love David Walliams' books... they will become classics".

Author's description : Most fun or hardest

Today I have decided to be the author, David Walliams, and to write the most fun or hardest part to write. I have chosen the most fun part and I am making it into a letter.

Dear reader,
The most fun part in ALL of my books is when Raj comes into the story. When I was growing up, the newsagent in my town was called Raj and his room was extremely messy just like the book! He always kept the biggest smile on Earth. In stories the scene where Raj comes up makes me feel happy and I love describing what he sells : for example, an expired piece of chocolate with no rapping and that has been eaten, I love being creative! Raj, the not-so-smart, messy, sweet, welcoming newsagent will never stop me from putting him in my books!
Best regards,
David Walliams.
