ROOM XV: Writing in Action!

Josh’s WW1 Moment In Time

I see bombs exploding. It’s getting nearer and nearer to me.

I hear gun shooting, going bang, bang near me.

I see dead soldiers on the battlefield. They have guns with bullets.

I see no other food. All I can eat is hard tack. When there is no hardtack I will starve like a hungry bear.

I can't drink water.

I feel no energy left for running.

I see trench that is dark like the night.

Friday 27^th March2015( MMXV)

Room XV presenting to everyone!

We had the idea to have our assembly by having everyone in Room XV sit in a U-shaped letter. Then Mr Cowlrick chose our part in the assembly then we had to practice all parts of our roll. We all had to write our own scripts and we were all the main presenters.

Afterwards we went into the hall to practice on the stage to get our confidence up to a good level so we were not scared when we spoke to the whole school on assembly day.

Then on Friday we practiced lots of times so we were prepared to speak in front of the whole school. And THEN it was SHOW TIME!!!!!

The first presenters were Felise and Samantha. They both were the introducers of the National Anthem so once Felise said “ATTENTION!” Room XV would stand.

SPS is spellbound!

Later I presented Levi the bear to the class who sat up the best during assembly. That was Room 9.

I enjoyed assembly because we were hosting it and we got to show our stuff.

Room XV- Awesome!

CRICKET WORLD CUP

HITS SPS

On Saturday my sister and I went to Eden Park for the International Cricket World Cup match. South Africa was playing Pakistan. I was going for Pakistan.

Me and my sister walked up to the bus stop. We caught 502 to the Ellerslie train station. We went to the Ellerslie train station. We then caught the train from Ellerslie to Kingsland. Then we trotted up to Eden Park. Me and my sister were full excitement. I said to my sister, “Is this a dream?”

When me and my sister were at Eden Park my sister got yummy hot chips and my sister also got sugar donuts. They were also yum. Then the big screen showed the players and the crowded went wild. The screen showed the two captains from Pakistan and South Africa.

When both teams came out the crowd went wild. South Africa wanted to take a blow first. South Africa got 10 wickets and Pakistan also got 10 wickets, so Pakistan won by 29 runs and Pakistan won in 48.5 overs.

I had a great time at Eden Park. I didn’t get go for the whole thing but I had a good time.

Excellence in performance!

On Friday Room XV was very excited as we performed two amazing plays. The plays helped us understand our stories

 

Lina and Armel in high drame!

It was fantastic. You should of watched them! I just can’t stop talking about it. The actors really enjoyed themselves and the directors were really good.

Meliame acting and directing!

I was the director for my groups play. This meant that I had to give people roles. They were all happy with what I did. My group did an amazing play!

I look forward to my next chance to perform an amazing play in Room XV.

Room XV's 'Trenches'

Yesterday everyone in Room XV had to go into the trenches of Gallipoli, as part of our Inquiry investigation.

We were all pretending that we were World War 1. It was so fun. Also it felt real with all the sounds from World War 1 playing in the background.

We tasted what they made in World War 1. It’s called Hard Tack which tasted like bread. I’ve seen Hard Tack before because it’s on this game that I’ve played before.

Most of us imagined that the trenches were real. It’s was extremely  dangerous. Three of us died from the snipers and ‘big as’ machine guns. Last but not least we had to write letters to our parents and family. We had to write letters back to back to our loving families.

It was so fun I wish you could of been there.
