Jacinda Meets Leaders In London

A few days ago New Zealand's prime minister Jacinda Adern flew to London to meet the leaders of Canada, Australia and England.

Two days ago she sat down and had a chat with the Canadian and Australian leaders about the Russians and their rumours about them using computers. She also had a face-to-face talk with the UK Prime Minister Theresa May in Downing Street. During their meeting they talked about the worlds disasters and the number 1 thing they talked about was..... Syria. 

Then to finish off the day Jacinda went to go see Prince Charles and Princess Camilla, after visiting them she lastly saw the Duchess of Cornwall and the London mayor Sadiq Khan.

Adverb Poem

Bravely, soldiers risked their lives
Bravely, soldiers left their wives

Bravely, soldiers shot and died
Bravely, soldiers tried and tried

Bravely, soldiers went to war
Bravely, soldiers hearts were torn

Bravely, we wear poppies for them
Bravely, we keep their sacrifice as gems.

The Museum Trip

 Yesterday room 9 & 10 went to Auckland Museum. When we got there we sat down in lines and talked about the rules, after that we walked up the stairs to floor two and walked until we got to the World War 1 room. In the room where heaps of names, some of us thought it would be like about 50 something but it looked like 500. We looked at the glass window and saw some of the people who went to war and died. It was so upsetting seeing the people who gave their lives for us.


 After we looked in the first room we went to another room about World War 1 and the photo that was so sad was when a man had his leg shot or cut off and sewed his skin back together, so one leg was normal and the other was short. We saw trenches and we also saw a few guns. The weirdest part was when the man was talking on the phone. It was pretty scary cause he was talking about when his wife died and all that.
Then after we started looking at all the World War 2 stuff. In there we saw spitfires and things like bazookas. It was cool and sad at the same time.

Harry Potter's Poem


On Monday we practised a play called Sun Sonata. We had to memorise it and even say it in front of the whole class.

Sad & Happy

There once was a boy
He was treated like a toy
So one day he decided 
"I'm going on a diet"
Soon on that day
He found a bunch of hay,
So he ate and ate 
Then he started to hate,
His mum, dad and even his life 
so he just grabbed a knife,
He started to cry
and said "I'm going to die"
His mum walked in she grabbed the knife
and said to him
"son live your life"
so he said okay 
and that following day
He was happy and
never got sassy
