I used Read Theory for English today and I read Three Flowers it's how about how many different kinds of flowers. They also come in different colours.
I would recommend using Read Theory because it's really informative and it can help you in writing or read better.
It also has really good stories about different topics.

Today in reading I read a fact that they're people who are scared of long words, it's weird how they would be scared of long words since when they need to write/read it would be really hard on them.
When I was reading in English for 10 minutes and I choose to continue the book I read on the 08/05/2018 which was Percy Jackson and I was up to Annabeth, Percy and Tyson arriving at the camp when they saw It was all messed up. The Half-Bloods were protecting the camp from two mechanic bull and Percy and Annabeth found out that Tyson was a cyclops who was abandoned.
I read this because I love the book and it's really entertaining. I would say ten-year-old up would be a suitable audience for reading the book.
Traditionally, Matariki was a time to remember those who had died in the last year. But it was also a happy event – crops had been harvested and seafood and birds had been collected. With plenty of food in the storehouses, Matariki was a time for singing, dancing and feasting. Matariki, or Māori New Year celebrations were once popular but stopped in the 1940s. In 2000, they were revived. Only a few people took part at first, but in just a few years thousands were honouring the ‘New Zealand Thanksgiving’. A special feature of Matariki celebrations is the flying of kites – according to ancient custom they flutter close to the stars.
