Tena Koutou, On Wednesday 14th April 2021, the teachers arranges a surprise. The surprise was a ANZAC surprise, also us students were not aloud to go into the senior building until the bell rang. Before the bell people started being sneaky and looking under the blinds and through the windows to find out what was going on but we didn't see much until.. RINGGGG! The bell rang but only one classroom had no string and that classroom was Manukau the yellow senior classroom. The other two classrooms were closed so we only got into Manukau. everyone ran into Manukau because of the rain and people started whispering and mumbling to each-other about what was going on then the teachers yelled to be quiet, The students went quiet and the teachers had camouflage colours face paint that they put on their face, They had camou green, black, and brown colours over their noses and they were all three teachers were wearing black. Black pants, shirts, jumpers and guess what the teachers had NURF GUNS! and were shooting the students and teachers shooting other teachers. They said they set up string every where and when I mean everywhere I mean EVERYWHERE. The whole two classrooms had string everywhere so we had to crawl under the string like they did in the army. The strings were tied to chairs, tables. seats. bookshelves, and there was no space we could walk only crawl under the string It was like this.
Some people thought the crawling was getting tired and hurting their knees and it really did but If you are going to do this I suggest you wear long pants so you don't feel your knees is pain, but the most important thing was we all had lots and lots of FUN!! But fun didn't stop us from still doing our work.. VERY BORING! BUT! we got to do out work under the strings so I guess it was a bit of fun. We did some Anzac work, The first thing the teachers told us to do was maths, maths was not Anzac work for us instead we had to do our basic facts test which was quite exciting because we got to do our basic facts test under the strings. One teacher played shooting sounds grenades sounds and bombing sounds on her speaker and that would distract us students from doing out work but we still had to carry on. After the timer was up we had to stop working and pass out sheets on to other people until it reaches the teachers. I also forgot to say that the teachers were also under the strings!
isn't that cool!
After our maths test we did this kind of Anzac worksheet that looked hard to do but it had thick stripes and it said, Vietnam war, Korean war and some other wars that I could not remember. The worksheet was hard to me but we had to plus the year to make another year and then write the answers down, When we finished our answers we had to add them all together. I finished writing my answer and crawled to the teacher and gave her my sheet. After a few more minutes The teacher said we had to give out sheets in, Then the bell rang for morning tea. Everyone crawled their way to the exit and gasped. Then I reached down to my bag got my morning tea and grabbed my hat then I waited for my friends. When my friends came out and got their stuff we walked for a while. (AFTER MORNING TEA) RINGG! The bell went and I put my stuff back into my bag and crawled back under the strings. Then the teachers gave out piles of papers with stuff on them and gave them to us. I grabbed one and passed them on. After everyone got a paper the teachers told us what to do and what we had to do was write a letter to our family on the paper we got but we didn't actually give it to our family it was just how it felt to write a letter in the trenches and was work. I started writing for about 2-3 minutes and my letter looked like this. Down here!
I waited for a long time and finished my letter then lunch came and the bell rang again RINGGG, everyone crawled their way to the door again. IT WAS LUNCH TIME SWIMM! Only one of my friends brought their togs. I grabbed my togs and lined up.
