Life in Trenches

WALT…Describe how people risk their lives for others. I did a Thinglink presentation about New Zealand soldier's 'Life in Trenches'. I enjoyed using Thinglink because it is easy and nice to use for blog posts. Next time I could improve on adding more ideas and having a pretty picture.



Holy Week


W.A.L.T… Identify how the Easter Triduum is celebrated in the Church. This week we are celebrating the Holy week: Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. I made a short presentation about this event. I enjoyed using Prezzi because it's really creative. I could improve on adding more ideas and images.

The Anzac Puppy

WALT...Write a flashback from a different perspective and use show not tell. The ANZAC Puppy originally by Peter Millet and Trish Bowles. I enjoyed doing this short flashback because I can think of some words that are good for my sentences. Next time I could improve on adding more show not tell words. In this flashback I am Sam the Soldier. Here's my Flashback:

The Anzac Puppy


I was getting ready to bravely fight in the army in a cozy warm temperature when I passed a lonely looking puppy inside a tiny box. Unexpectedly the owner of the puppy popped into my vision. Her name was ‘Lucy’. I asked the name of this lucky puppy and she said it was ‘Freda’. I told Lucy that I will bring Freda with me in the army and bring her back looking the same.


I brought a lucky charm, I thought. My soldier-mates couldn’t figure out why would I bring a puppy in a war. I realized that the first week was easier to handle but when the banging and booming sound got louder I had to make sure that Freda was hidden. BANG,POW,Crash! Weeks, months and years passed but the annoying booming sound was still there. In my vision I can see Freda’s sick of it expression with our situation. One day I heard nothing but the wave of the wind. I saw peace on the other side of us. Finally, I brought Freda back to Lucy safe and sound.

Anzac Animals

WALT...Understand the importance of animals used in war. I enjoyed doing this article because I got to use the Newspaper Generator again. Next time I could do better by adding more animals with more information.

Leader Creature

This week we made a DLO about our Leader Creature using Prezzi for a change. I had a hard time in using it because it was my first time but it was fun once you get used to it. Next time I could improve in being more creative in Prezzi.

Passion Sunday

WALT..Explain how Passion Sunday celebrates the meaning of Holy Week. I did a drawing about how Jesus entered Jerusalem in a slide. Next time I could improve on adding more information.
