ON THE BEST HOLIDAY

ON THE BEST HOLIDAY.



The school holidays seemed short. Sometimes we were really busy but most of the time we slept or we stayed home and watched TV.

A high light for me was on a beautiful Monday when Poni and I were playing games in the house, suddenly I heard a knock. When Poni opened the door it was Sefesi and he said “that are we going to the Tongan Sunday school “. It was important to go because the second Saturday was going to be an important celebration. We sung and acted out our play and perform for the 2ND Saturday of August 2011. So when it was finished I went to get my little baby Selu . I was happy to hold her. When we got home we ate K.F.C and it was really yummy ,especially the chicken and chips.

On the next day,I went to get my mum from the airport because she had been to Tonga for a funnel and the plane landed at 2.00 am so I was sleeping in the car. I was glade to see her at breakfast in the morning.

First T3 Post

I am looking forward to seeing a world event that is happening in my city of Auckland, YES the Rugby WORLD CUP and I’m sure that I’m having a swimming pool at school will ensure I can float for hours as I rest from swimming many lengths of the pool.

War of the Roses

Sir Thomas Burgh (Man~at~Arms), Richard Caller (Archer), and Edmund Cl-ere (Bill man)
The two most powerful families in England, both of whom had a legal claim to the throne, fought for more than 30 years over who should rule. These battles are now called the War of the Roses because one side, the House of Lancaster, had a red rose as its symbol, and the other side, the House of York, had a white rose. The War of the Roses eventually came to an end when Tudor defeated the Yorker’s King at the battle of Jobsworth in 1485. Richard III was killed in the battle.

A SOLDIER’S LIFE

Dear who ever is fighting,
I hope you will not lose because your wives and children is begging you to win and I am going to TRUST your wives and children but those who is fighting in the beaches at Gallops in Turkey BOOM!!!! BOOM!!!! BOOM!!!! went the bomb “oh no”,said the captain “the people is dieing” go go go GO and hide from them “fire in the hole” the captain said to the crewel sliders “take cover” it means to go on a shelter and protect yourself from the gun fire and don’t die from it. It was New Zealand vs Australia they take of and went to fight and it was World War One we especially remember the soldiers who died on the 25 fight. But it seems most likely that the first Anzac Biscuit were made by the mothers ,wives,and girlfriends left behind when the soldiers went off to war. These woman wanted to send food parcels to the men's serving overseas. The food parcels were carried in navy ships, which took two months to arrive and had no refrigerators. So the food in the parcels had to be long~lasting as well as tasty and healthy. The soldiers were already issued with army biscuits instead of bread. Although they lasted well, they were so hard the men could hardly eat them. They could often grind them up to make porridge or stews. The new biscuits were softer and were cheap and fairly easy to get. They did not contain eggs, which might go off and were hard get in wartime. The biscuits were called “soldiers’ biscuit”, but after Gallops, they were renamed Anzac biscuits. Today, you can find lots of different recipes for Anzac biscuits. Some have nuts,spices, or dried fruit for extra flavour. I hope you don’t go and check if they are coming but if they are coming to check they are going to kill you because your going to die protect your~self so don’t go to check. The nickname “cavalier” comes from the Spanish caballero, meaning mounted soldier. The name suggested that the person was foreign, and royalist soldiers found this insulting. Parliamentarians were called “round~heads”. This suggested that they were apprentices, who wore short hair. Men on both sides wore long hair, and it was rude to calla man a “round~head” because it meant that he was a worker of low status. FOOD: The daily ration of “marching food”was one pound of round, hard biscuits or bread and one pound of either cheese or meat to eat with them. Soldiers were given knapsacks to carry their food but had to supply their own plates and cutlery. RAISING ARMIES At the of the Wars of the Roses, the law said that all men must own as much armour and weapons as they could afford and be prepared to serve their county as soldiers for 40 days every year. Noblemen, like Sir Thomas Burgh, were asked to provide a certain number of soldiers to serve the king, many of whom were their servants. Edmund was one of Sir Thoma's cooks. He Wear a Jakie, which was a jacket made of as many as 30 layers of linen, which acted as padding. Jakie's prevented arrow wounds, and were the cheapest and most common form of armour. The blow~like object hanging from Edmund’s belt is a buckler.

Athletics

The day started like any normal day but I knew it was going to be different as it was going to be historical as it was the 2011 school athletics day. When we started the 5 year old ‘s went up then the 5 years old went ZOOMING!!!!! across the whole lane. They were all puffed out and they were all tired.

The teams were Tuis, Geckos, Kiwis and Keas. The best part was having no winner. When Mrs Pole called the 6 year olds the girls they went first then the boys. It was a pretty good.
