Summary
The Somme was a ghastly place for war. New Zealand soldiers didn’t really get involved until the battle’s end but during that time two thousand men were killed. Worse came a year later in June 1917 there were a series of battles that went on for months in Passchendaele; it was freezing cold there and some men were forced through barbed wire on gunshot. Some people said the surrounding countryside looked like a moonscape.

writing- sound desciption / narrative
The day of the evil witch
This is the writing I did based on a piece of instrumental music.
Try and guess which sound I used
Music:
1, 2 or 3
CRASH… AHHHHHHHH! Screamed young Mia and John Korsakov in a high pitch as they were running.
They ran in and out under and over in many confusing circles while the evil witch* chased after them
destroying everything in sight. Finally, the children gave up and the witch scooped them into a minute
black rubbish bag then threw the bag onto the rigidity old wooden broom and flew at top speed to her
hidden lair. Suddenly, Mia had an idea…

*(she liked to go by the name Miss Jadis)
Instead of the witch cannibalizing them she could try to end their lives by throwing them off the edge of
the world, but while they were flying there Mia and John would then shake the broom and make her fall
off into the deep dark sea then turn the broom around and fly back home; they obviously wouldn’t tell her
the end part though! Mia whispered quickly yet secretly to John and then when the witch let them out
they waited for a little and told her she should throw them off the edge of the world instead.
At the thought of that, the witch cackled loudly and aggressively but somehow even though it took a while
the intelligent children managed to persuade Miss Jadis and off they went. The children knew they were
nearing the water so they started to shake the broom… will the witch fall of or the children!

Diary of a wimpy kid- Reading
Title: Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Author: Jeff Kinney
Genre: Comedy novel
Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a series of stories in black and white based on a modified stick figure called Greg
Heffley, he is a skinny fellow who comes from a long line of weirdos. His style is very boring, unoriginal
and casual all he wears all day every day is plain black shorts, a white t-shirt, white socks, and black
shoes. Greg is a young, small, normal yet odd high school student. He and his best friend Rowley are
both very unpopular and quirky, the young character seems to be quite timorous to himself throughout all
of the books I have previously read. As the title says he is a wimpy kid, but he is not only wimpy he is also
a video-game-addict!!! Greg is one of three kids in the non-extended Heffley family, all of those three
kids are boys; Rodrick the oldest, Greg the middle child and Manny the youngest. In every single book
and movie, there are many amusing jokes Greg tells so you could just maybe call him a comedian in the
making. I think the funniest thing Greg says in the first book is: The only reason I get out of bed at all on
weekends is because eventually, I can’t stand the taste of my own breath anymore. I personally love this
book and can’t wait to read all the others!
