A Child In World War One

World War One

In World War 1 it was 28 July 1914, My name is Susie Davey, This is my story. My dad is in the war probably fighting now, my mum sent me away to the war to see my dad. On the way I found guns and I grabbed one I saw some dead bodies laying around me while I was walking to my dad, I had blood on me it was disgusting, the gun was full ammo I shot a bullet and…..

Then people started to shoot at me but I ran behind a trench, then I moved a little and fell in the trench, I started to bleed but it wasn’t to bad. One of the war people said “are you alright” I said “yeah I’m fine”. After I got out of the trench I had been covered with dirt, it was getting dark and darker as I was walking it was really loud but then I thought and said to myself…..

I’ve always wanted a sister or a twin  it would be fun because I would have someone to play, sleep,cry and hug with, But I never had any of those. Now I have to find my dad I hope he’s ok. It was so loud I have found a little cabin I was like score for me and no one was is it but then I thought if someone blows this up i'm going to die, so I changed my mind and said “I'm sleeping like the army men do but i'm a army girl…. There was shadows and I was scared it was about 7:40 pm so I started to fall asleep.

I woke up at 12:30 at midnight I said to myself “I need to see my dad I haven't seen him for 2 years” I started to cry and keep crying, I really felt like I had a sister or twin. Then it had been 30 minutes passed by… another half an hour passed by, then I heard a weird noise in the sky and it was coming down really fast then it hit the ground and exploded I went flying far away from there I walked the opposite way to find who find crashed that plane, my ankle was really saw, as I limped while walking I was trying to run because it was getting to dusty, I tripped over and landed on my ankle again I cried and walked away from my pain. There was lots of gunshots and I nearly got shot but I dodged it. I keep walking and I found this little cook station.

I couldn't find my dad anywhere but then I thought I could go to flanders field just to see if my dad died…. 2 hours later, my dad didn't die I had picked a poppy I said “yes my dad is alive yay” he must be in the war somewhere. I ran to the war he must be somewhere I said. I was still running and I heard a gunshot I saw my dad and I saw this other kid running to my dad I was shocked that another kid was running to my dad I thought that my dad didn’t want me didn’t want to have me as a kid so I got ANGRY and I pushed the kid over and said “That’s my dad if you touch him I will yell at you” my dad said “you both look the same it's like your twins are yous?” we said we don't know each other or never seen each other so I said “what's your name?” She answered with “my name is Susan” and I said “my name is Susie” She said “wow cool name we nearly have the same names” I said “yeah….” So we didn’t know we had a twin sister it was pretty cool to have a twin sister so our dad had to go fight again but we got sent home on a plane and we don't have the same mum but Susan’s my offered if my mum wanted to have Susan my mum said “yes I will you may come and visit and any of that stuff ya know?” she said “yeah well anyway goodbye.”

Top team games

Top team games

Yesterday the 5th after the duffy lady it was around play time and we had to have a early lunch because we had the top team games. At the top team games there was 14 games, skis, team building, hoops, nz map, water games, memory game, memory maze.

The ski games was super hard because charlie was not moving at all so we all mostly didn't move. Charlie was biting his fingernails while we were trying to move and we yelled charlie but he didn't listen and he moved when we weren't moving that was hard.

Hoops were really fun because I got 5 and the others got 3 or the other number, it was fun that was my favourite because i'm a good thrower but Aimee got a three, three times. Myha was sortof good she got one there and no more she missed most of her turns.

The water game was the first one my group, very cold and not warm some were warm, but most freezing. I got a face full of freezing cold water. I loved going there and having lots of fun but my group had to do the cold one first, at least we dried up doing to the other games.

On wednesday the 5th, Diana Queenin came to our school, she brought her treasures that she had discovered over the years- she has gone to. She had lots to show us, there was fossils, geodes, horseshoe crabs.

The stingrays are the horseshoe crab they have a barb sticking out of there back to pre teched them if a predators are coming behind or infront. Orcas take the barbs out and spit them out and chop their prey up. The orcas take the barb out because if they don’t they will stab them. The horseshoe crab had ten eyes and shaped weird.

Fossils are when something not here anymore, that they have,like they have been there for more the 100 years and has grown into the rock, they look cool but it needs time to go into the rock. It looks like they have drawn into it.

Geodes are a rock that has been cut into two halves that have crystals that people have coloured purple to look cool and more expensive to the normal one. They look really rare but they are not some can be.

The lady brought snake skin the snake takes it skin off by a rock it's kinda gross I thought. Our teacher Miss Smith tried to not pull a face because she does not like snakes but she had to hold the snake skin, I wouldn't like it either.

Safe cycling- Maddie

Safe cycling

On tuesday the 4th we had safe cycling, with constable Jos and constable Terry, they came to help/teach our classroom 2 how to bike safely on the road, we have 27 people in our classroom and 8 of us had to borrow constable Jos’s bikes and the other 19 brought their bikes. Constable Jos talked for quite awhile on how to use the helmet and how to do the ‘m’ check and all sorts of other stuff.

It was play time at 10:30 so we went for play, after play time we got on the bikes and started the ‘m’ check on our bikes, the ‘m’ check is when you have to check all the nuts and bolts on your bike, see if you’re tyre is pumped and ready to go, we all had gear bikes

where you can change the gears.

Second we got on our bikes and constable terry came ‘yay’ they set up some obstacles course that we done like zig zag, straight then stops, turning, after we had a challenge we had to go slowest but we were on our bikes, we were moving it was just who ever was the best 4 or 5 had another challenge to who could be the best and it was…….. William the people who were in the top 4 to 5 was Fynely, Patrick, William, Jessica and Me, there was a boy one and a girl one but the best ones got to vs each other girls and boys, while we did that constable jos and constable terry we setting up another obstacle course that had ramps,ladders and cones.

After the obstacle course's it was around lunch time and after lunch we went on the road, we we learning hand signals, road rules,road rules for intersections, look over your right shoulder, 1 meter from the gutter/curb, how to do the ‘m’ check and how to put your helmet on correctly- like put your thumb on you chin before you clip it up- make sure it's comfortable and fits you good-perfect and if it's uncomfortable get the right one that fits you. After the one round of the road one we had another turn because we were all next to each other and we didn't use them good. I was pretty good at biking because i was on a better bike than my real one the other people were

Science Roadshow- Maddie

Science Roadshow

At the high school a couple days, a week. It costed 12 dollars. Room 2 went to a science roadshow. We went from 12:15 till 2:00, after they showed us a couple things we got to go try some other science display, they were cool.

Morgan and I were looking at this science thing it was when you pull this a long stick out of metal and a big ball stuck to it and we pulled it, it was kinda heavy, after we pulled it this ping pong ball flew up and went straight back down, it was cool plus there was heaps of activities that we tried to go to but we didn’t do all of them. After we did some I wanted to go back to do it again because some were really cool. Well I did it again Morgan came with me because she liked it to.

Then we had to sit back down and the talked for about 20 minutes before we had to go. They talked about science for 20 minutes. The science was really cool my favourite was the ball lift, that was my favourite one because it was big and it like a second to go up and down it was pretty cool and I wanted to have it because it's cool. Everyone should of tried it. Then after the 20 minutes we had to go (sad).

I Am

I am as quick a cheetah but when I go sit down on the chair at home i'm a lazy Potato that doesn’t move.

My best friend is as tall as a giant and i'm small as a snail.

My hair is like a smoothie poured over my head.

My lips are little trampolines that talk.

My eyes are like grass swishing side to side

My eyelashes are like little black branches that are stuck with super glue.

I am small, that’s good and bad i can't reach stuff but tall people can reach short stuff.

My mum had size 8 shoes i'm size 6 I fit my mum's shoes.

I am as tan as a light colour of brown in pencils.

My family is tall although i’m short i’m taller then my older two sisters

I love ice cream but I don't like cream

I'm not amazing but I think you are

My family is a split banana but I ate it
