Last year was the 100th anniversary of when ANZACs started war in 1915. Last year I went to the ANZAC Day Port Adelaide game where they did a memorial. I know that Albert Jacka won the VC (Victorian Cross). ANZAC Day is when we commemorate the soldiers who died and served in all wars. 
Why did I come here.
Although I didn’t want to
Remember why we came….
Boats drifted slowly towards the shore
Armed men ready to advance
You sat there, clutching your gun
On this April morning
Next to you, I sat smiling, gun shaking in hand
Eager to make my way
To the shores of Gallipoli
The sun shone over the hill
Under fire, we make our way to the shore
Running up the hill, Turks shot.
Killing our comrades
I felt a sharp pain
Shrapnel piercing through my skin
Head buried in my arms, I lay on the rocky hill…

Aquatics was a great experience even though I went last year in year 6. I did snorkelling and surfing with Noah, Toby, Trent, Kyte and Jackson. Snorkelling on Monday was alright. We went snorkelling over the small Reef and around it. We saw little and big fish and a giant blue crab. On Tuesday we went to the big reef and we swam over it. There. Was the ladder at the bottom of the ocean floor and a lot of fish on the top middle and bottom of the ocean.
Surfing on Monday was alright the waves were good but not the best and I couldn’t stand up so it wasn’t that fun. On Tuesday the waves looked bad but when we got there they were better then Monday. I could stand up every wave but eventually fall off. I rode a few waves all the way to the shore.
If I was going next year I would do fishing and sailboarding because I go fishing with my dad a lot and we go squidding somethings as well. Sailboarding because I want to learn how to sailboard because I want to learn new things that I can do in the ocean.
When I went on the Reef it was a great experience because the year 6s didn’t get to go on the Reef last year. We had an instructor called benny and he was awesome because he gave us fist bumps and told us a lot about the Reef. It is very interesting about how the Reef was created.
This is our class pet yabbie. It doesn’t have a name but it’s a boy, we decided to make it a male we don’t know if it really is but who cares. We freshly caught this yabbie on Friday when all the year 5/6/7 classes went to the duck pond. The people who caught them were kind enough to gives us some. If you want to see the whole family go to the all boys class Room 17. We have made a set up for the yabbies, we feed them beef heart, well mr z does atleast.
