kia ora, Dear readers,
Last week on the 27th April, all of the Te Waka Ako student’s had a big surprise, the were strings everywhere!
Then we found we were doing Under The Wires, and learning how it will feel like if we were in a real trench and at war. We still did lots of learning, our first subject was reading, which was a little hard because we had to find a group of four or five. It was very hard to move and bend down at the same time because, we couldn’t touch the wires. If we touch the wires we would get shot (that is just pretend.) Next thing we had was maths, which is one of my favourite subjects of the school day. But today it was not my favourite subject because we had to find our maths buddy’s and do the maths handout the teachers said we had to do, but the maths work was still fun to do. Our maths was to to do about ANZAC day, so was our reading. After reading was writing, and writing last week was really strange because we had to move to a spot with our kits (our pencil case and a glue stick) around to find a spot. Then we started writing a poem, we could make it any poem but it had to be about ANZAC Day. My story was about a horse running out of the war with a rider on the horses back, running into the forest.

Talofa Ella,
In the small Trenches, I see you were low to the ground like the soldiers, but image if that was a hallway rather than a class. You can see how many soldiers got sick and passed their illness to others, especially with rats in the trenches too. I think if I went to war I might be scared like that horse in your poem. Keep sharing your learning on your blog.
