ANZAC Pamphlet

A couple of weeks ago my class and I made pamphlets. We each did it in groups of 2 and we had a choice of like letters, pictures, clothing, badges and other things from World War 1. My best friend Alana and I chose a love letter. We searched it up and found out it belonged to Samuel Atkinson. Something I learned was that he got killed helping a friend.

Poem

In our class we did poems for a school in New Zealand.

We had 12 items that we could write about. They were a pink teddy bear, a ship in a bottle, a dinosaur, a coin, a person, a key, a spider, a puzzle piece, a stone, a gem, a pawn and a compass.
I chose the pink teddy bear. My poem was a bunch of describing words about the teddy bear.

This is my poem.

Bed Day
Pink, fluffy,
Small, tiny, little, cute,
Fuzzy, stillness, unmoving, motionless, rose,
Happy, joyful, miniature, loyal,
Adorable, soft, delicate.

The first week of school

The first week of school was when the year sixes were on camp so the year fives had to go to room six because the room five teacher had gone to camp. When I got to school I unpacked my stationary that I had brought from home. On my table were my friends Meredith and Ruby and there were also two boys named Aidan and Matthew. We started with prayers. Our prayer leaders were my friends Jiwoo and Ruby. More into the day we did a lot of get to know you games and activities. We started doing art which was our koru art. I chose the colours purple and yellow. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were all the same and we continued to play games, activities and our Koru art. Friday was so much fun, at fitness we had a race. For the boys Dean came first. For the girls I came first and against the whole class Dean came first and I came second. At the end of the day we had a game called Octopus.

Ko Maria tōku mama
Ko Patrick tōku papa
Ko Faith Gribble tōku ingua

My mantra

JUST KEEP SWIMMING
I chose this mantra because Finding Dory is one of my favourite movies but it also keeps motivating me to keep on going and trying harder and harder until I get it right.
