Matthew -Comic of Elephant vs Crocodile

Matthew Halloween

Halloween is the scariest event in the year

It makes me fill up with fear

Every kid with a mask

I can’t take this task

We go to a house and knock on the door

We say trick or treat but they just roar

I have a basket full of treats

So I keep on knocking on doors in the streets.

Matthew,Rheumatic Fever

Walt: respond to the presentation given by the public health dept.

Prevention is better than Cure

On 6 August, the whole school of Glen Innes school went to the hall to talk about Rheumatic fever. It was a special assembly. Dr Alison Leversha from Star ship Hospital came to us. It took 25 minutes. Three Warriors players and an X Warrior player came to us to interest us to take care of you throat. The three Vodafone Warriors showed us when a doctor comes in a class and say who has a sore throat you will get a swab by a nurse. I thought the Vodafone Warriors was going to talk about Rheumatic fever, but they didn’t.

Awen Guttenbeil talked to us when he had Rheumatic fever. He played for the Kiwi league team and the Tongan league team. He told us that Rheumatic fever could lead us to death. He never told his mum or dad that he had a sore throat. He told us that on the day the athletics he couldn’t get out of bed. He had saw joints. He dragged himself through the hallway to tell his mum or dad that he has a terrible problem. Awen’s mum and dad took Awen straight to the hospital.  After 2 months the doctor told the mum and dad that Awen has Rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever starts from a sore throat.

In conclusion I think that I should take care of my throat. Sore throats leads to Rheumatic fever and that could lead to death.

Hard materials is so exciting by Matthew

On most Mondays the year seven students from room 11 and room 12 go to technology after morning tea. We go on a bus. It is at Tamaki College. Our teacher is Mr Grundy. Mr Grundy handed out some paper to everyone We were in a workshop. We used a saw to cut the wood. A try square is what we used to make our joints straight. We used a bench vice  to clamp the wood in place before cutting it with a saw.  Four people sit at each bench. Firstly, we have to plan our housing joint. Secondly, choose your best joint and draw it big on a big piece of paper. Thirdly, make your joint.


Hard materials is so exciting. I am making a rubbish truck. The part that I enjoyed the most was designing the five ideas.
