Email to Kings School.

To Oliver,  

Thank you for sending us your interesting email about pollution. We didn’t know that you had to put two layers of sunblock on in the summer time.  We didn’t know that New Zealand was right under the ozone layer. Now all of us will hopefully put two layers of sunblock on in the summertime.

In Room 21 we have been learning about Soil.  Our first science experiment we did was looking through  soil to see if we could see any creatures that live in the soil.  There were ants, worms and much more.  

We have also done something called The Turbidity Test.  It’s when you move you move a magnet through the water with a certain amount of soil inside and then you see how far you can see the magnet.  This experiment proves how clear the water is.  

Did you know that there is more micro-organisms in a spoonful of soil than there is people on Earth?  There are four different layers of soil.  Topsoil, subsoil, weathered rock and bedrock.  We have also been learning about what life would be like without soil.  Soil is so important to us that this year the United Nations said that it is The International Year of the Soil.

Thank you for reading our email we hope you enjoyed it.

Kyle, Barath, Jordan and Ashton.

The Fantasy of DEATH!!

        The Fantasy of Death

  It was 3:45am on the 25th of April 1915.  It was pitch black.  There were thirty nine other  young ANZAC soldiers cramped in a landing boat  with me.

My friend whispered to me in my ear ‘’Don’t be scared.  It will be okay”.   Suddenly…. Boom!!

I heard soldiers shouting.  I ducked down so I wouldn’t get shot. Then  I heard soldiers screaming.  I was very scared.

When I breathed in air I smelt blood.  I saw a flash of light at  ‘Z’ beach. My heart was beating really fast. My leg was bleeding.  I knew I was shot.  I thought I was going to die. This is the end.  I hoped my family and friends would be fine without me.
