ANZAC Recount

                       The Last Survivors

Its 3.45am and we are under the cover of darkness.  I’m in the landing boat crammed in like a can of sardines.”BOOM! My heart was pounding.  I was shaking all over.  I couldn’t move.  I was frozen with fear.  Suddenly there was a massive flash of light.

Bang! I could smell everyone's fear.  I want to get out of this boat to shoot people.  I was holding onto my gun firmly.  I tried to shoot  but my gun wasn't working.         

We were about one kilometre away from the landing zone.  I felt an incredible pain in my leg. I  ducked down to dodge the bullets. One bullet flew past my ear. We heard soldiers screaming from the other boats shouting “HELP US, HELP US!” as they were drowning in the sea.

I knew we were the last survivors……..

Peace One Day Action

As part of  our Inquiry work on Peaceful Communities we have been  learning about World Peace Day  on September 21st. On Friday 19th September we held a Taster Shared Lunch with Rooms  19 and 22.   We  had to bring in a small sample of a food that we might eat at home as a family favourite  or a food from our culture.  This helps us to learn about each other’s cultures and about tolerance of others.

Plastic Good or Bad ?

                        Plastics are Bad

Plastic is bad because animals eat plastic and can die because people throw away the plastic and animals can eat the plastic.  Plastic kills fish, turtles, seals, and other animals too. Animals eat anything in the sea like plastic bags and all sorts of things. They think it is food.

If fish eat plastic and we eat fish it means we eat plastic too.

This is what happens when people don’t throw away their rubbish in the bin.  This is what happens to animals if you throw away plastic. If you find any plastic lying on the ground pick it up and throw it in the rubbish bin.

I hope you learned about how plastic is bad.

My Speech

 Children Should Watch TV

Have your Mum and Dad ever told you not to watch T.V? But you don’t agree with them and you still want to watch it. Well I can help you. I have got three reasons to tell you why children should watch T.V.

My first reason is that children can get smarter by watching T.V.  If people watch T.V they can learn the alphabets, maths and reading skills. And there are good science programmes too. So children can learn lot’s of things by watching those programmes.

My second reason is children can have fun watching T.V.  If you like movies, cartoons,funny show and sport channels you can have fun by watching all these channels. So if it’s a boring day you can still have fun by watching T.V.

My last reason is that people can watch what’s happening in the world from the News. People can get information and learn about what is happening in the city and other countries around the world.

In conclusion if you like watching T.V you should watch good and appropriate programmes. So you can learn something and have fun. Then your parents may let you watch T.V without telling you off.  Good Luck!
