Cross Country

 On Monday we had cross country. As a year 8 I had to do 3 laps of rugby park and Grey Main school field combined. On the second lap we went out the gate up the hill and came back into the school grounds on the other side of the school. I did okay and ended up 5th.

Descriptive writing

This week one of our tasks was to create a piece of descriptive writing about an image and pretend we are there.

The sun beams down upon me. Surrounded by a cloudless sky. Only a few seagulls accompany the sun. I play in the icy waves. Laughing like a hyena. I swim carelessly towards the shore. Enjoying the light breeze on my face. The palm trees wave as I return to shore. The sand is hot beneath my feet. I run swiftly to get in the shade. I taste the salty sea water as the wind carries it into my face. Watching as the sun slowly slips down down towards the sea. The sudden coldness hits me. Walking across the soft sand I pull my blanket tighter over me. The night sky stares at me with the twinkling stars winking at me.

Te reo - How are you

 

For te reo my class was learning how to say and how to respond to how are you. Ke te pehea koe is how are you. Then you would respond with kei te _______ ahoa. With the blank being how you felt. Kei te pehea koe?

Animals at war

As part of Anzac activities one of the activities was to complete a slideshow about a topic of your choice around Anzac. I chose animals at war.

Letter home

This term we have been doing ANZAC activities one of the activities was to write a letter home here is mine.

Dear Mum

I have just arrived in gallipoli. The air is completely black, I am assuming that is from all the smoke. It also helps hide the bombers which frightens me. I am getting to work tomorrow hoping I can save some lives. Hopefully this war ends soon because I don’t think anyone is enjoying it here. The yells of pain and shouts for help are getting to me. Even though I haven't been here long. In the background you can hear gun fires and screams. It is hard to imagine tomorrow I will be heading into the heart of that. I am happy that I will be able to help the brave soldiers who are battling for our countries.

Looking forward to returning home and seeing you again.

Love

Molly
