Writing a Letter to my Brother

WALT: write a letter

Field Hospital, Gallipoli

1 April 1915

Dear Brother,

I am now at the Field Hospital. I hardly understand why did the soldier got wounded from the war. Some soldiers are in pain but one of them are strong. Your poor friends are really injured. I tried my best to help them but I can’t do anything more. Brother, on the month of April 1915 Peak Camp was about to start. In the hospital tent your friends are really scared and nervous about the injections because the injections are really powerful and dangerous.

On the day before the War some soldiers always gets dirty work because that’s there job. Bleeding outside the field wasn't difficult because one of the soldiers from the other countries always wants to compete with the other soldiers.

The soldiers said that they want to beat the other country for killing their partners and that was there payback time and I don't want them to get killed because I want them to survive the war and you're the one that can save your soldier friends. For last you are my older brother you can save them, you were also been trained about nursing.

Your Loving Sister, Megan

Trenches - Working in a Group

WALT: research and write in our own words

We were learning to make trenches. Our model was to make a trench. In my group I worked with Jeleina and Serena. Making the trench wasn't difficult because it was easy and it’s not complicated. My whole group drew a plan of our trench. We used playdough for making trench. Here are the things that we done for our trench. 

Jeleina was painting the fence and the gun.

Serena was also painting the sandbags.

Megan was the last person to paint the sandbags. This was a big challenging for me and my group.

My Best Holiday

Last Year my mum’s family came from Samoa to Auckland. My three aunties and my two
cousins, a boy aged three and a girl aged eight came to live with me for two months. They
came to my mum’s first cousin’s graduation.

My mum bought a new van so my family can go to Wellington. My uncle Ata drove the van all
day long. At 3:00am we started to pack up our stuff and food. My dad made a pot of coffee for
the adults. He didn't go because he has to look after the dog and the house.

During the drive it was a little bit boring. There was nothing to do so I just sat and listened to
the Samoan music. On the way to Wellington my mum’s family were fast asleep because the
driving was long, it took four hours to get to Wellington.

When it was 7:00am we were still on the road, everyone in the van was exhausted and hungry.
Then my mother had an idea she told my uncle to pull over so we can have a break.
After that my mom’s whole family came outside so that we could stretch our legs and our
whole body.

When it was time to go back inside one of my cousins was a little bit noisy and that would be
my youngest cousin. He always cries when someone takes his toys. On the way to Wellington
my little cousin always hangs around my mum sometimes he annoys me.

Meanwhile, when we arrived at the Wellington Hotel my mum’s first cousin came outside and
hugged one of my aunties. My cousin Nesa is my mum’s first cousin but I call her my cousin.
The reason why we went to Wellington is because my cousin Nesa Graduated at the special
place called the University of Wellington.
