Anzac letter

By Anonymous -
Dear Mum and Dad,
I am so happy tell you that I have finished my training and am going to fight in Gallipoli for our freedom. We are going there on the 20th and already the big adventure is happening. The food is the same most days. Anzac biscuits and tin food and sometimes liver on mash.

For our training we had to do 5 k runs with our guns and our backpacks on. We then we had to pick up a dummy and run 50 meters and then jump a meter long ditch and climb a big wall to shoot targets. After we took the dummy to the nurses.
I am missing you guys and especially your food because this food isn't really nice.
I hope you guys stay safe and say hi to Little Jenny and Jeff the Dog.
From your son,

Byron

My Holiday Incident

One fine and hot day I was going to eat lunch and then mow the lawn. But then I went all lethargic and fell on the ground. My mom was trying to talk to me but I was not responding to her. My mom went to the phone and rang the doctors and they said to go to the hospital. So she rang the hospital and they came over to our house. They finger pricked me and tried to talk to me but I still didn't respond to them. They took me to the ambulance and I got a ride in it. I felt really terrified and scared like mad when I hopped into the ambulance and my hart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to blow up. It was not long until we got to the hospital. They put me on a wheelchair and took me to a bed and the doctors gave me a headache tablet and I went to sleep for 4 hours and then I woke up and they gave me some food to eat. I had mash potatoes with gravy and peas with meat. For pudding I had ice cream. The nurse came and made me walk to see if I would of went wobbly and if I

Sewell Peak

Sewell Peak was a metaphoric introduction for all the year 10’s into NCEA for next year. It is saying that going through level 1,2,3 will be challenging but once you make it to the end it will all be worth it, all the pain, sweat and tears that were shed were all for a good reason. Once we started the walk we all knew what we were heading into, a steep hill with a good view at the top and we all knew that we were going to struggle going up. But I found that if you don’t focus on the pain and just look at the nature around you, you will enjoy the walk and find it more of a brisk walk than a challenging hike. At the bottom of the walk we found that the trees were really diverse and were going to different heights but as we got higher the trees started to deplete and become more shorter and than becoming shrubs and bushes. The walk up to the top took around 3 hours and when we got to the top we knew that we had done well. We got a meal from the Mayor and got photos from the top, we co
