Anzac Essay




Air gets thicker as she walks through the mist builds soaring like an eagle men are falling to the ground guns are shattering bombs are tearing the air apart. But this is only the start of Nancy Wake's great adventure.

Nancy Wake was born in New Zealand 30th of August 1912. When she was 2 she and her family moved on to Australia. She died on the 7th August 2011 she had no kids. She had 5 siblings and she was the youngest.

Nancy Wake played a part in the war as a spy.  `Her biggest part of the war was when she parachuted into the …. Base and took out a lot of men. After that event in the war she earned the name of White Mouse from the Nazi’s. She also made lots of journeys taking escapers towards the premises.

In November 1942 Wehrmacht troops occupied the southern part of France after the Allies attacked Nancy helped in this. She was also on a raid that destroyed the Gestapo’s headquarters in Montlucon. Nancy Wake is a war hero she would have saved thousands of lives. Not only civilians but also soldiers.

Nancy Wake is a big inspiration to a lot of people  she never gave up and she stayed strong all the time and that is only two reasons why I find her inspiring. On ANZAC day she is going to be the first person I will remember.

Today I went to Casa Nova to do E.C.B.'s My buddy's name is Alex. He is loud and can get annoying but that's what makes him special. Alex and I had heaps of fun we played fire men and played with the tools and I really liked spending time with him. Soon I won't have to go to meet him at Casa Nova because he is starting school, so i can see him a bit more.

3 2 1 bungee the instructor said to me as I sored through the sky like an eagle. As I get to the ground a tear of adrenaline goes down my face and I am relieved that I didn't die.

Gangster Granny

Me and my class have been reading a book called Gangster Granny. But this is not about her it is about her grandson Ben. At the start of the book Ben is a very quiet boy and he was a bit neglected from his mum and dad for their love for their favorite show Strictly Stars Dancing. The things that Ben loves are well one thing the magazine Plumbing Weekly but Ben also hates a lot of things too . If you want to find them things out read the book Gangster Granny. If you do read the book you will also find out how big of a character Ben becomes. At the start of the book his fun factor is as small as an ant, as it gets deeper in to the book his fun factor grows into a giant. Image result for gangsta granny
