Shrapnel Valley, Gallipoli

26 April 1915

Today my heart is broken.  My best friend passed away.  It is so

sad because he was so funny and made me laugh all the time.  His

name was James.

When soldiers get wounded me and Duffy go up the steep hill and

find them and bring them down to the beach.  Then they go on the

boat to Lemnos Island if they are badly hurt but sadly some of them

die on the way there.

The smell of blood is ground into my uniform.  There are heaps of

flies round my head.  I can hear them buzzing and it is getting

really annoying.  When I am near the hospital I can hear moaning

and groaning.

I wish I was at home with my cat Sandy, stroking her warm fur safe

in my cozy house.

My reading goals

IALT: develop my reading comprehension skills Recently I took an asTTle reading test. I read a number of texts and answered a range of questions to check my understanding and comprehension. The aim is to take a test at a level where I will make some errors so that I can identify what I need to work on to be a more successful reader. I have looked at the results of my test and identified 3 goals for this term. My reading goals are: [1] Consistently read to understand the meaning of a text [2] Make a conclusion or an assumption [3] Know what different words mean # 1 and 2 are about understanding the text, especially by thinking about the text more ‘deeply’. # 3 is about developing my vocabulary and being able to use the information around a difficult word to make sense of it. You can help me with [1] and [2] by asking me about the book I am reading at home; about the characters, setting, plot and resolution (fiction) Get me to explain why I believe ...

Writing - Mother of dragons

WALT understand the purpose for writing Mother of Dragons picture prompt When the dragon had hatched, crawling out of its shell onto her bed, Zoya knew that her life would never be the same again. She had brought the dragon far away from her village; away from the people who would hurt it and take it away from her. As she held it in her hands, Feeling its claws affectionately digging into her fingers through her gloves, Zoya knew exactly what she had to do. What they had to do. Together. The dragon gazed at her. She could see the flames burning within its eyes. It was totally dependent on her, as a newborn child is to its mother. And yet, strangely, she felt dependent upon the dragon as well; dependent upon what it was and what it would become in time. They would become inseparable. Their futures were entwined. Their adventures were only just beginning.... Zoya went to the shop and bought some dragon food. When he was eating she thought of a name, but she saw his green ...
