Writing about holidays and ANZAC


We have been working on writing using meaningful contexts for the students. The topics have been Based around Memories of things they have been doing.
Holidays
In the holidays I went to the dentist to get a filling. There was heaps of tools. One of the tools was caled the tooth tickler.The other tools were called the grumpy-grinder and the football. I got a sticker and a bumblebee necklace. When they were done I got some tasty water. It tasted like mints. I had fun!

ANZACS
On the weekend I went to the parade with my family. I had fun. My dad was in the parade because he's a fireman. We had to sing the National Anthem. We went to the Gates of Remembrance. I saw Mrs Rodger. I lay my poppy near the Gates of Remembrance.

A couple of days ago I went to the Anzac parade. I saw Connor marching down the road. I had fun. I got tired in the middle of a speech. Some of the people put down some wreaths.

We need to remember people who went to war because they fought for our freedom. My mum's great,  great, great granddad Willer went to war. Me and Millie have gt two other granddads and uncles who survived the war.

On Saturday me and my dad went to theAnzac parade. There were lots of people. I saw Mr A. He was marching down the road and he had a black jacket with poppies and medals.

On Anzac Day there was a parade at Victoria Square near the Gates of Remembrance. There was lots of speeches. There was lots of people. We were there because we needed to remember the people who died lots of years ago. It was sad but I had lots of fun too. It was time to go. I did not want to go home. I felt sad because I liked the parade.

My great-granddad went to war. He was a prisoner of war but he made friends with one of them. The guard helped him to escape. But now he has got a lump on his body and it is cancer so he is very sick - just like my dog Kupe.
