A visit to Ronald McDonald by some lovely bakers raised $300 dollars for the cause. Well done girls!

Matthew does it again!

June 6th 1944 At 10:30 am we rushed out of the dugouts and charged to the german post. “Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!” We screamed as we ran closer to the post. “Still no gun fire?” Colonel Gian said in suspicion. When we were about 300 meters of the way german machine guns lit up. “Get into cover!” Colonel Gian yelled. I dashed for cover as Kareem scrambled behind me. Bullets rained everywhere, I saw men fall everywhere. “Fall back !-” boomed Colonel Gian over the gunfire, then he added “If you want to.” Everyone falled back, everyone but Kareem, Dane and I. I was wondering should we fall back, should we retreat. Suddenly I heard a voice say “Don’t retreat, don’t fall back.” in sounded like sgt Kynes voice. I suddenly realised something. “Dane give me your sniper.” I say, Dane gives me his sniper. I look through the scope, I see the MG42st manning the MG42, I fire, Bang!, the machine gun fire stops. “Can I have my sniper back?” asked Dane. I hand Dane his sniper. “Who’s with me.” I said, “For what?” asked Kareem. “For charging head first into enemy lines.” I replied, Kareem raised his hand but Dane didn’t. Me and Kareem charged into the enemy lines, bullets flung everywhere, I pulled out my Bren, I pulled the trigger, no amo, I pulled out my T16 pistol, no amo, I pulled out my assault rifle, I checked the amo , dangerously low, every shot will have to count. I aim, I fire 1 german down three to go, I see Kareem is behind me already blasting at the Huns, I check my amo, 14 shots to go. Suddenly shots behind took out all the fritz, I look behind me, it’s Dane, I signal him to tell Colonel Gian and the squadron we can advance, he signaled Colonel Gian and soon the squadron advanced. Ten weeks later me, Kareem and Dane were on a boat to America. when we arrived we were sent straight to the White House and awarded victoria crosses!

The rain came and did not stop. It rained on Wednesday. It rained on Thursday. It rained so much the drain overflowed. It rained so much I went home early from school. It rained on Friday. It rained so much that rugby was cancelled. Rugby is never cancelled.

War letter - Dane

Hello Mark, It's winter 1915 and it is freezing. The Turks are showering us with bullets. Men lay shivering on the trench floor,our rifles are frozen with ice. We are making snowmen to hide behind. The trenches are dressed in snow and are flooding. Sorry but the Turks are charging at us so i’ve got to go. Yours sincerely Dane

War Letter _ Giancarlo

Hello Mr Kyne Life is terrible there's barely any water and the ANZAC biscuits are really hard!BAM! “Ahh!” Well my friend just died. Well there is slush all over the floor and it's hard to move anywhere. The water rations are terrible.Since the ships can barely make it to shore with the water. My mates Rielly, Kareem, and Matthew had to steal - or as we put it (prank) the head officer. We snuck into his part of the trench and stole his water! He was furious! It was great! “Oh no,we have to fight the Turks.We load our rifles and fire upon our enemy. I would like to write more but we are under enemy fire. We have to go now,bye for now! from Giancarlo

Kareem - War letter

Gallipoli 25th November 1915 Hello Mr Kyne It is Winter and we are losing all our campaigns because our commanding officer is being kind of dumb.Our guns are frozen stiff so we can’t open fire on the enemy instead we have to jump into the Turkish trenches and use our guns as swords or throw Jam tin bombs at them.We don’t have a lot of Jam tin bombs because everybody is too cold to make them. When you sleep you have two options to sleep with your mouth closed or to keep it open and swallow stuff.Me and my friend Mathew had some fun with the commanding officer.Last Summer we loaded his rifler with bully beef so we watched as it backfired in his face. Since then i have been the commanding officer.It is now Summer again some troops are injuring themselves on purpose so they can get evacuated. That’s all for now. From Kareem

War letters - Kareena

Life in the trenches Gallipoli 9/5/1915 Dear Ma It's winter now!Many things are frozen, when we sleep our blankets,hands, legs and pillows are frozen.And our rifle guns are frozen and we can't trigger them. 1,000 people had been evacuated and many more are injured and killed. There was a raging storm a few nights back . It lasted a terrible 2 days. It was viciously cold like a person trapped in an iceberg, the turks kept firing but we survived. We could only eat frozen things, soldier biscuits you couldn't eat they were even more solid rock than ever. My mouth, my tastebuds were gone it was like I had never eaten before! I hope I survive this vicious war. Love Kareena

Chelsey - Daydream

The hot summer day It was a hot summer day and you could see all the calm water. You can hear the screaming of the seagals(Gulls). You can feel the salty sand on my feet. You can see all the boats out in the harbour. There was a kid tipping sand on people I went into a daydream I heard someone call my name Chelsey, Chelsey, Chelsey. Was it the seagulls?

Matthew -The Adventure - starring Dane, Jethro and Matthew - Guest appearances from a Mr Kyne hologram

THE ADVENTURE It was a nice morning, you know the morning when you wake and have super powers and stuff. Well that’s what this morning was like. So this morning I got to school and my mate Dane was already waiting there for me. “Hey Dane.”I said cheerfully (Because remember I have super powers this morning). Dane said hey and then asked to have a chat with me. I said okay and put my bag on a hook. “Mr Kyne isn't here and he is usually here first and…” Dane was over reacting. ”It’s alright, it’s alright Dane he’s probably just late. I’ll just look on his desk for any clues.”then I touched something,and a hologram of Mr Kyne’s face flashed up and started talking “Turn up the volume.” said Dane but just before I could turn up the volume Kareem bursted through the door. “HELP!!!!” My little sister is chasing me around the school and trying to hug me and it’s starting to bug me! Kareem was running around the classroom like a headless chicken.With my my super quick reacting brain I knew what to do,I put my foot right next to a desk near Kareem and he tripped up on my leg. ”Eeeeeeeeeekkkk “ Kareem squealed as he fell to the ground. I sighed,then I got back to listening to Mr Kyne’s hologram I turned up the volume....Suddenly Mr Kyne’s voice shot up! “Eeeeekkk “ squealed Dane. Mr Kyne sounded stern, so I listened. “Who ever’s here listen, as you know I’m your teacher, but what you don’t know is that 50 years ago I served in an agency called the H.E.T.S.S. It stands for Helping Everyone To Stay Safe. Well it was safe, until someone broke the code. Jethro was his name. He hated that rule. On a blustery cold day he gathered some associates and took off to an unknown destination to seek some unwarranted revenge. It looks like he took the code by force.

The Sea Poem - By Bella

The howling wind swooped through the crashing sea.

As the wind had swept, the sea into crashes and bashes.

I watched the angry waves smash onto the rocks.

The sky was dark and misty, but the sea roared through the night.

Ronnie

The red headed devil who loves swimming like a fish.

His flashing smile lights up the room when he enters,

the cheeky grin spreads widely across his face,

as he thinks of another prank to play.

Surrounded by his annoying younger sisters,

Ronnie is the leader of the pack,

Mum works tirelessly to keep all the kids on track

while dad gets the beer and drinks it all,

Dash the canary is yellow and black

he squawks at Ronnie all day long,

Twigs the budgie is making a big ding dong.

Hello Ma

It’s summer, there are a lot of flies and lice and also the food is horrible. People have died,there is also people lying dead in our trench.

In winter our guns froze so we could not use them. We enjoyed having snowball fights.The trenches were knee deep in mud and slush and sometimes there are spots that you could fall into.

War Letter - Mila

Gallipoli 1916

Hi Ma                                                                                                           

It's winter here and the cold is almost unbearable.A large proportion of our men are either sick or already dead. We can't even fire our guns for the triggers have jammed and our hands are too numb.

Many of the trenches are filled with icy water including ours,sometimes it will start snowing in the night and you will end up buried under a thick layer of the pure white flakes that has wiped out a great number of our soldiers. It's not all bad though we all try to have a laugh now and then. One day a group of men from my trench pulled a prank on my friend Corrie,we all laughed when she woke up with bits of hard tak frozen all over her face.

My hand is getting numb and sore so I can't write anymore, but will send a note to you soon.

Love Mila
