Lachlan’s 100 Word Challenge – Week 29

This weeks prompt was, ‘X Marks the spot’…

It was hot and dry and I was ploughing a dry and rough paddock. I stopped for lunch, sat down on a chair that I had brought with me. I was staring at the ground while I was eating a sandwich and I seen a faded but white piece of paper. I picked it up, and looked at it there was a big red cross on the piece of paper. That is it I thought. A treasure map! I started to look around for the treasure after I ate my sandwich I finally found it! It was a big chest full of fuel for the tractor. DAD! He has tricked me again.

Gallipoli: Then & Now

This brilliant site was fantastic to look at as a class. We were able to see what Gallipoli looked like 100 years ago and what it looks like today.

Lest We Forget

This poem written and performed by Rupert McCall is something we have watched as a class. We appreciated the atmosphere that the bugles created and thought that it was a particularly stirring and emotive poem.

Tilly’s 100 Word Challenge

A great letter from the perspective of a digger:

IT WAS HOT AND DRY in the desert when we got here. Thank you for the food you sent me. I wouldn’t of survived much longer without it. I need to get out. I need water. I need help. This is a death camp. It’s like World War Two all over again. Apart from the fact that Hitler only took jews and if you did manage to escape he didn’t put the place in lockdown. You have to get me out of here. I’ve never needed anyone as much as I need you now. I won’t write to you again.
