Room 10 Term 2 as reported by Akeisha

Room 10’s Term 2

This term room 10 have been learning about the importance of the Anzacs at Gallipoli.

We have been writing description and diaries about how it would have been if we were at Gallipoli and how life might’ve been for nurses or soldiers to put in our old newspaper.

 Our class all dressed up in either nurse’s uniforms or soldier’s uniforms so we can take a photo of ourselves to create a description of our soldier/Nurse to put on our old newspaper.

We have also been reading Anzac stories and learning about non-fiction features in these texts, along with stories that included conscientious objectors and the things they went through when they wouldn’t go to war, like for instance there is field punishment number1,

Field punishment number1 is when you get tied up to a pole and get left there for a long time; even if it is snowing they get left out there on the pole.

We had an Anzac soldier’s lunch it was absolutely terrible there was stringy bully beef and really hard biscuits, the biscuits weren’t that bad, they were just too hard, nobody liked the bully beef except for Phoenix, Cheyden and Ezekiel they thought it was delicious.

The day after that Kiana brought some different army rations there was beef  noodles, chocolate, curry, crackers, condensed milk and lots more they were way better then the other lunch we had.

During our Anzac studies, A group went to the cooking room with Mrs Duffin on senior teacher release to make Anzac biscuits, there they learnt how to make Anzac biscuits with a partner, at the end of the day we had a room 10 annual biscuit competition and our lucky winners were Kiana and Cora with a set of 2 lovely looking biscuits.

 On the 27^th of June Room 10 had a special assembly, it was special because room 10 pupils were either getting awarded or giving speeches, for instance our deputy class councillor Nevada introduced her friend Te Amorangi in front of the whole school, Kiana Mclean got best book and was also our guest speaker, she talked about her experiences overseas. Karma got most improved book and the Room 10 Ki o Rahi team came first and got rewarded with a trophy that Kani Manu held in replace of our captain Bailie A.K.A  captain foolish, who was away with an injury.

Room 10 has accomplished lots of things and are sure to accomplish more next term.
