Day In A Life Of A Gallipoli Soldier

The Deadliest Night (as dead as a soldier)

25th March

Dear Uncle John

Once we got to Gallipoli Peninsula the first thing we had to do was dig out 6 x 5  trenches. After digging out the trenches we were all tired and thirsty. One of my mates had a bottle of water and shared it with me and the others. Later on we all tried to sleep but all we heard was loud, banging gun shots. Only two soldiers could sleep but the rest stayed up.

It finally hit morning and the two soldiers woke up. We all sat there starving and there was only a little bit of water left. Later on we heard more gunshots so we thought we should shoot back.  We all got into our positions with our weapons. We looked at my friend Sam who counted down. We all shouted and struck back. All of a sudden we heard silence. We looked over and saw someone throwing something near our trench. BOOM! Then there was silence.

Theatre Challenge

Everyday Theatre visited Ruapotaka and we had a theatre challenge with Room 11.

We had to write a note based on the characters in the video game.

When we won against Room 11 we got a Games master badge.

Below is the note I wrote.

Dear diary,

Since Becca has my room and I sleep on the sofa in the lounge I don’t know where to hide my diary. I'm afraid that mum might find it and read it and find out that I have problems like having Brian and Becca around and about me and Jack at the carpark. (It’s as painful as not being with your family for a very long time)
