Live, Work and Play Safely” by Heather Hammonds

Think about an activity that you do, or a sporting activity you belong to and make a list of the rules that members need to follow.  For each rule, briefly explain why this rule has been put in place.

Rugby

The Rule is …..	Why this rule has been put in place…..
No tripping up.	The rule is put in place because it could start a conflict.
No high tackles.	The rule is put in place because you may break or damage their spinal cord
Don’t wear sharp pointed shoes.	The rule is put in place because you can leave a badly wounded arm or leg.
No forward passes.	The rule is put in place because the game would not be fair.
No shepherding.	The rule is put in place because it is unfair to let  someone else take the tackle.
Wear a mouthguard.	The rule is put in place because  if you don’t wear one you could possibly break your teeth.

My group made a graph of a sport and we had to explain the rules in the graph.

Peace Sense Poem

I am learning to write a Poem about Peace One Day using my senses.

I am so proud of being able to make my work more colourful and vivid.

It can be tricky to find descriptive and interesting words to use in my sentences.

My Teacher can help me by checking my work and giving me feedback.

The next step for me in my learning is to write another Peace Poem.

ANZAC Landings

A Thousand ANZACs And Me

It’s 2 am and I have just got my head around this campaign.  I thought that being with my best friend Jamie we had no reason to be frightened. But that all quickly ended. There were a thousand ANZACs and me all crammed into an old boat.  Suddenly I heard a big BANG! repeating on and on.

I identified it as a machine gun that the Turkish troops were using against us.  I had no hope any more. I knew I was going to die. A thousand rifles and bayonets versus a machine gun that held the high ground. We stood no chance.

I felt a strong pain in my arm.  I fell to the bottom of the boat. I had been shot.  Was I going to survive? At the edge of my sight I could see my best friend shot in front of me.  Blood was leaking from his chest like a waterfall.

 A thousand ANZACs and me were no more….
