Soldier Stories

Here are our unedited soldier stories. We were learning to write a short descriptive piece of writing to show some emotion.  We found it tricky putting ourselves into someone elses' shoes but we are pleased with how our writing turned out. Mrs A asked us to write a minimum of three sentences but some of us were on a roll and wrote more!  Please forgive our mistakes, as stated earlier this is unedited!

Boom went the bombs!

I can see lots of gun fire. Soldiers have been hit. Some are lying on the ground screaming in pain. Bleeding to death, the ground was covered in blood. It was so gross I wanted to swipe it out of my mind.    By Ashleigh

BOOM! Went the gun I heard the enemy coming closer to me, my heart was pumping.  I was as tiny as a mouse, I was scared in the corner. He found me.

He has trapped me.  I picked up my gun and shot the enemies as fast as a cheetah I was so scared, but I did it anyway. I feel so much better.  I rescued everyone else.  I got a medal.        By Danielle

Kaboom!!! Its coming my way pieces of shrapnel that’s in my face whatch out before you get hit in the back, it will be sore like yesterday.  By Harley

KA BOOM! another bomb exploded! I want to run somewhere where no one can find me, but where?  I am terrified and exhausted. I really want to get out of here.   By Jameel

It was freezing outside.  I wish I was at home. Guns shooting at people.  Some soldiers have been hit by the bullets.  My friends have died.    By Jessie L

KABOOM!!  Exploding heads flying in the air wounded men starting to die. Plane’s  everywhere  flying in the sky dropping bombs all over us but …. By Jessie S

BOOM!!! Our enemy was coming closer and closer. I hid and  was as quiet as a mouse. My heart was pumping really fast I was frozen in fear.  He was close but he couldn’t see me, he heard me and he started searching for me. I grabbed my rifle and I shot him.  By VJ

I felt water dripping from head to toe it was like ice-cubes falling down my back. Thunder storms every where. KA BOOM!!! Aircraft dropping bombs everywhere. You wouldn’t believe your eyes if you were here.  I want to get out of this place.   By Jonathon

Kaboom!!! I’m tying up my lace. Pieces of shrapnel is in my space. Watch out before it hits your face. I’m on the chase. By Kingston

Ka boom!  Blood splats everywhere, I felt so sad for my friends because they all got shot. As I was shooting I got angry like a bull getting teased.   By Kini

Boom went the bombs, I was freezing .  I wanted to run away, so I did.  I ran where no one, I mean no one, could ever find me. I saw a good hiding spot when I was running. I ran there and then there were bombs over there and here. I was tired and I wanted to go home.  By Maia

BOOM! Went the guns I heard the enemy was coming closer, my heart better fast and fast.  By Maraea

Soldiers

Last week we learnt about the ANZAC's.  Here are our photos we took in Brendon's uniform with his medals.  Thanks Brendon!  We know we should've changed the medals over to the right hand side but Mrs A forgot and then when she remembered most of the photos were done.  We don't mean to offend anyone and Brendon didn't mind so we hope others aren't offended either!! The beret isn't quite right either but we tried our best for a photo opportunity to wear an army uniform with some medals.

Run Jump Throw

You ran, you jumped and you threw! Congratulations to everyone for participating and giving it 110%. It was awesome seeing the progress you had all made over each lesson with Cameron and finally at our Kahikatea team athletics afternoon.

ANZAC Day

We have been learning about ANZAC Day as Mrs A thinks this is a very important day. Not just because we get a day off school but it is a day to remember all those men and women who both gave their lives and risked their lives so that we can live in such a beautiful country today.

Try completing this ANZAC quiz to see how much you have learnt.

Last Terms UROCK Inquiry

Well it's taken a while but here is some of the video footage you completed to show how we can accept others' abilities and efforts.  I haven't made any changes to your clips. We will have to learn how to edit our video to bling it up a bit! I have found a Web2 tool that I used for the last two clips. We will experiment with it this term!










Congratulations to those groups that cooperated and succeeded with this task.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Hi Team I hope you are all enjoying your holidays! I am! Troy and I have been watching the old Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Movie that was on tv on Easter Sunday at least once a day! I'll be able to sing you the Umpa Lumpa's song once school starts again!  We have eaten far too much chocolate - I hope you all have too! 

Have fun.  I'll put some new games on the blog for you. I have been hooked on the hidden object games and have been staying up late playing them!
