World War 1

It’s August the 4th 2014. Today marks the 100th year that the brave soldiers of New Zealand went to Europe to defend our country. Our Prime Minister (John Key) told Mr Burt that every school in New Zealand must have a special assembly for the remembrance of the people who died in world war 1.

Mr Burt explained how World War 1 started. He said that a man named Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were driving along the streets and then another man came and shot them.

I think we shouldn't have war because too many people lose their loved ones. More than nine million people died on World War 1. That’s heaps! I feel really sorry for the people who sacrificed there lives in World War 1. They were so brave! Lest we forget!! (We must not forget)

Reading Task

What’s For Lunch? This book we’re reading is about what the students had for lunch. Alex always had a nutty bar for lunch everyday. Mr Kenna was wondering why’d he always bring nutty bars for lunch everyday. So Mr Kenna decided to ask everyone what they had for lunch. He also put up a poster which had a pyramid with the right and bad food. The top had the treats, the middle had the oily fat ones and the bottom had the healthy food. You only eat the top ones sometimes, the middle ones not too much a day, and the bottom one you eat plenty. After that Rangi suggested to share his healthy lunch with Alex. Alex gave Rangi half of his nutty bar too.

Commonwealth Games Canada

Canada is one of the countries competing in the commonwealth games.

Canada is located in the continent North America. The population is 35 million. They speak more than one language, English and French. The capital city of Canada is Ottawa.

The most popular sport known in Canada is hockey, soccer and baseball. The color of their flag is red and white. They have a leaf on their flag which is known as the maple leaf.

Canada has teams competing in field hockey, boxing, table tennis, badminton, swimming and many more. I reckon Canada is going to be really good and win in hockey because that’s their main sport. They always play it back in their country.
