The outstanding ANZAC button

Back in the day the button showed pride and it was carefully sewn onto the khaki jacket. It had dodged plenty of bullets on the battlefield. After the war he shoved his jacket in the back of his wardrobe. Every year he would rub the grime off his jacket and go to the ANZAC parade, then it was back in the old rusty wardrobe for another year.

 Plenty years later, when his great-grand daughter Ella had pulled out some photos and found him wearing his khaki in one of them. She went back in the box and she looked and found a less cheerful and older great-grand father on the back it said "at the Somme 1916".

Her mum said"that button had saved his life" she had pointed at the old ,rusty, dented button. Ella said"if this button wan't there I wouldn't be here"and nor would I"said mother. She snipped the buttons of his khaki jacket and found a soft cloth and polish. Then carefully she sewed the buttons on a red ribbon and put the special button in the middle and then off to the dawn parade.

ANZAC day is celebrated on the 25th of April every year, It was when the ANZAC's landed in Gallipoli, and to remember the people who served for our country.

Pablo Picasso

                                  Facts about Picasso


In class we have been learning about Pablo Picasso, he is a artist from the late 1800's and early 1900's. He is world famous for his cubism, here are some facts:

In early 1900's he drew a lot of blue painting's which we may call the blue period.

When he was 16 he joined an art school in Barcelona, remembering it is like university. Also when he was young he drew a lot of paintings people thought he was like Michelangelo.

The next day we came back and did the second coat and we started a ramp for Grans wheelchair we did the whole frame and then we left.

Movie study (contract)

This week we watched the movie Klaus we did a study on it for our contract. The movie was based on kindness and generosity and friendship. On our contract we had twelve activities to complete they were all based on the movie . My favourite activity was when we had to say 5 things that will fill up someone's bucket (make them happy). 


First Jesper was talking to his Dad than his dad said "you must go to smeerensbuurg and achieve to get 6000 letters delivered Jesper was upset. When he got to smeerensbuurg he thought to himself what is this place.                                   
                                                     
Jesper was there for days and he was worn out and upset till he met a name named Klaus. One night they went to a boys house and saw that he was happy that Santa gave him a toy.


They kept on giving out toys to people and they were so happy they started a chain of kindness and they started doing jobs for their parents so they didn't have to do them.

I recommend you watch this movie because it is a fun packed film and you will learn heaps of life skills.

Guy Fawkes Persuasive Writing

I agree that the sale of Guy Fawkes (fireworks) should be banned in New Zealand because you could scare animals, lose money, and make fires.


The usage of fireworks can cause animals to go wild. When the bang of a firework happens the animal gets really frightened and they potentially could lose their hearing. They also do unexpected things- a cow could run into an electric fence and get tangled up.


The amount of money that fireworks cost is unbelievable. At the Warehouse it costs from $12-$180. Also its basically a waste of money because they could be used up in under 2 minutes, so you could lose $180 just for a box of 20 fireworks in under 2 minutes.


Fireworks could go and hit a tree which makes fires that could burn down heaps of objects, and if a tree it could burn down a whole forest. People don't know where they're going to land so it could land on your neighbours house and since around 66% of New Zealander's get fireworks who knows what will happen?

In conclusion we should stop using fireworks so that animals are safe, we save money , and stop fires.
