The leading cause of death in Japan before the war was pneumonia.
Japanese men were the sole providers for their families.
Women were expected to be submissive and stay home to take care of their family.

Most families were farmers or small shop owners.
Meals were cooked over wood fires and people traveled across Japan by train.
Silk was the most important export in 1923.

Clocktower Writing

Once there was a little girl who was cursed into a clocktower. Every day and night she would have to spin around and around so the witch wouldn't hit her and turn her into a mouse. 

Then one day the witch was asleep and the girl could sneak out of the clocktower and go outside, but ... when the girl got outside, all of the world began to get darker and darker , the balloons wouldn't fly and they wouldn't shine their bright colors. 

Just then the witch woke up from her sleep and she noticed  that the little girl was gone so she went outside. Then the witch saw her and she was so furious that steam came out of her ears. So then the witch yelled at her for the rest of her life if she had to but she didn't because she would behave, and she also hated being yelled at by the witch because it really gave the girl a big headache.

long bay

When we were driving we were as slow as a snail up to Long bay; we took so long because it was a three hour long drive! Me and my family were so bored, hungry , thirsty and tired. It was so hot I had to put my pillow on the window because it was that hot.

When we were there we got an ice block and then my mum made some delicious bread for us and then we got a yummy ice-cream ,it was perfect on a day like that!

After that we went down to have a play on the beach. Then I went body surfing and my brother (Finn) was jumping over the waves and one time he even fell over in one of the waves!!!

The next day we were packing up getting ready to leave, when we were driving away my dad was begging to stay but we kept telling him off because he was so annoying.

Anzac animals

My Anzac poem

The Anzacs went to war

They came back very sore 

In Flanders Field the poppies once grew 

And lots of animals got the flu

EOTC youth town!

On Wednesday day we did youth town, first we did making a flint stone cart and we had to lash the strings to tie the bamboo pieces together so the strings can hold the bamboo together. Then we made. Tepe we had to tie a reef knot to hold the bamboo poles but when we put the cover on top of it the cover just kept falling off the bamboo Poles so then we tied string to the cover and then we pulled the strings and the cover came on and we had succeeded then we had to tie the string to something heavy that would hold the string to the ground and we also had to tie the string to the wooden poles so then the cover would stay on top of the bamboo. The we tested it and it completely worked and our tepe was the biggest one in our whole group.then we did problem solving we had to find our way through a mine field and we were really good at it then we had to make our way onto a island without letting any peices of wood leave a gap in between the water and the island after that we played a big game of tag where you had to put four pegs on your self And take some one else's peg of that person.then we did Wilkie talkies and we had to go in the gully and play a game of

 tic tac toe and it was hard because we had to use the walking talkies to communicate with the people we were playing with and every one were screaming on the Walkie talkies it was so annoying it really hurt my ears after that we did archery I almost got a bullzie because I was on the red circle I was about ten centre metres away from a bullzie then we went back to class and read our class book called the witches I really liked it because it was kind of freaky!!
