Kite-making instructions

On Monday it was Matariki workshops I did kite-making. First we had to rip up strings from flax. Then we had to tie knots using string and tieing sticks with fluff on the top we got so much fluff on our sweat shirts. We had to put the sticks how they said. Then tie them up using string from flax. Then put stuff on to cover the top holes of the kite at the end we tied 100 knots in total. We got tought a different way to tie knots. Then you can ether tie string on it and fly it or you can leave it in your house for decorations.

A MOMENT IN TIME

Landing in Gallipoli- A Moment in Time

Whoosh whoosh, the water was hitting the sides of the boat. It was April 25 1915 the boats were going to war. The Anzacs wanted to land on the Gallipoli Peninsula and friend up with Britain to capture Constantinople but first we had to fight the Turks.

We were in boats. There were 200 other ships. We were all joking, talking and confident. After awhile we had to climb down rope ladders into row boats. The rope ladders were wobbly and rough.

In the rowboats I was squished and crowded. As we got nearer to shore I could hear really loud gun shots being fired. Then we had to jump into the

freezing water. It went up to our chests and our backpacks were really heavy so we nearly sunk. Then we had to throw our backpacks into our row boats.

As we jumped onto shore there was a hail of bullets raining on us. Then I heard screams from my team mates. I saw people dying and screaming for help.

I wondered,’Would we win?’
