ANZAC day 2020

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says it is an Anzac Day like no other, but the purpose of honouring the Anzac commitment and "enduring hopes of peace" remains the same.

The Covid-19 lockdown has cancelled Anzac services today, but this morning thousands of Kiwis are not letting it stop them from paying their respects.

Up and down the country, New Zealanders gathered at their letterboxes, front doors and
living rooms as part of the "Stand at Dawn" campaign and tuning in to a live stream of a virtual Anzac Day service.

Christian made an amazing PowerPoint on ANZAC day

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing - Week 2 & 3

Fudge - by Savannah

Violets Q responses for Week 2

- Last year I invited friends to the indoor climbing centre and it was great fun!

- The dentist got Fudge to open his mouth by asking Peter to open his mouth first then telling him how amazing his teeth were. Fudge then wanted to show the dentist he could do this too. I don’t like going to the dentist because they prod around in my mouth.

- Fudge wanted the same shoes as Peter but they did not come in his size.

- Sheila is a know it all so I probably wouldn’t get on with her.

- Fudge scribbled all over Peter’s poster with markers!

Week 3 chapter chat questions by Savannah

Question 1

No it wasn’t a good idea because fudge wouldn’t go in front of the camera. 

Question 2

Yes and no, yes because he took them to the movies and cooked them dinner.  No because he wasn’t watching where fudge was and didn’t cook them a nice omelet. My dad is good at looking after me because he takes us out to lunch and makes sure we're in bed at 7.00 and 8.00 and cooks us yum food.

Question 3

I would have called a nurse or a doctor.

Question 4

Peter's mum gave good advice so did Peter she did give an example.

 Question 5

I wondered if fudge was going to get into any more trouble.

Question 6

Yes I do like compliments  I can leave someone else a compliment

Question 7

I do like the way it ended I felt happy

Question 8

It was about fudge eating turtle, peter the winner at jimmy fargo’s birthday party, juicy-o, fudge pretending to be a dog, fudge wanting to be a bird, fudge’s birthday, Peter wanted to call fuge fang but peters mum didn’t like it, jimmy peter and sheila were in a committee together and  then fudge scribbled on it, fudge got picked for the todel bike commercial,peters dad took them to the movies and fudge got lost.

Question 9

I did enjoy the story 8/10 it was a good storyline it was funny in places and I like the characters

Violet's answers to Chapter Chat Questions and picture:

It was not a good idea to use Fudge for the advert because he doesn’t have an acting background and he just wanted to ride on the bike 

Mr Hatcher wasn’t good at looking after kids because he lost Fudge and made the worst omelette! My dad is good at looking after me because he takes care of me and does fun things with me.

If Fudge swallowed my pet turtle I would be scared what would happen to the turtle and him!

Peter’s mum was a good person and gave good advice. She called the ambulance to take Fudge to the hospital.

When I read the story I wondered how it is even possible to swallow a turtle? How can it fit through Fudge’s tubes (oesophagus)?

I like compliments. It’s nice to give someone a compliment if they do a good job.

I liked the way the story ends. I feel good that Peter got the pet that he always wanted...a dog that was big enough that Fudge couldn’t eat it!

I enjoyed the story and give it an eight & a half out of ten because it’s fun and entertaining!

I know a Young Man who Swallowed a Turtle

 By Christian

I know a young man, who swallowed a turtle,

I don’t know why he swallowed the turtle,

I guess he will hurl.

I know a young man, who ate kelp just for a snack,

He swallowed the kelp to feed the turtle.

I don’t know why he swallowed the turtle,

I guess he will hurl.

I know a young man, who swallowed a living fish,

Wait, What?

He swallowed the fish to harvest the kelp,

He swallowed the kelp to feed the turtle,

I don’t know why he swallowed the turtle,

I guess he will hurl.

Next minute, with a swish and a flutter and a whole lot of kelper

Hurl, hurl, HURL!

Off into the sea with such a hurtle flew the turtle.

Violet's amazing cot and stand that she and her dad made for her baby doll Bailey. The cot is made from sound insulation with a wooden base...Violet nailed the sound insulation to the wood and stitched the sides of sound insulation together. The cot stand is made of ply wood which they bent and then Violet nailed together!
