My Peace Sense Poem

I am learning to write a Poem about Peace One Day using my senses.

I am so proud of being able to describe what Peace feels like, tastes like and sounds like.

It can be tricky to find descriptive and interesting words to use in my sentences.

My buddy can help me by giving me some ideas.

The next step for me in my learning is to write a more interesting poem.

Anzac Recount

The Horrific Highway To Hell!

It’s 2:am on the 25th of April 1915. I just got into the landing boat.  I’m crammed in there like a can of sardines. There were 25 soldiers in the boat with me. The two guys next to me were stoked. I just could not understand why!  The men were quieter than mice. I had adrenaline pumping through my veins. I had butterflies in my stomach. I could smell fear all around me. I was petrified.

There was about one kilometer left till we reached the shore. We  were so close to the landing zone. The only light I could see was the moon and that was it. Suddenly, the moon dipped behind the clouds. I could not see a thing! I was so scared! I was breathing heavily.

Suddenly, out of the blue…... BANG!...... Bullets were flying everywhere. I held my gun like it was my heart.

I hate this Highway to Hell I thought. Sadly, my friend Ali next to me got shot in his stomach. I saw part of his guts on the floor.  Blood was gushing from him.  I could not look. I was so depressed. My best friend just died in front of me! Oww! I felt a sharp pain in my head. I did not know what had happened.  I did not know  what horrors lay ahead…..

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.

I am so proud of being able to work out percentage and fraction problems by myself.

I am so proud of being able to convert percentages to fractions.

It can be tricky to work out the answer.
