Diana Isaac

By Anonymous -
A week or two ago I went to Diana Isaac, which is a rest home. I am in Homebase 2 but me and a few of my friends had to go with Homebase 3. Once we got there we went into a big room and we all sat down. In front of us was a housie board and a few counters. In the game someone would call out a number and if you have it on your board you would put a counter over it. If you got a row of 5 you win and the first 3 people who get a row win a small prize. Then we would keep our counters on and now you can only go for a full house which is when you fill up your whole board and again the first 3 people to get a full house get a bigger prize, like a chocolate bar. They were so kind to us helped us if we were stuck and also gave us a big chocolate bar at the end!
Have you ever played housie? If so have you ever won anything?

The Girls Imagination

By Anonymous -
This is the first paragraph of my silent writing that I worked on with my friend Samantha, the name of the story is "The Girls Imagination". Her imagination is forcing her to create something that isn’t reality.She is loosing her breath and mind physically and mentally. She can’t stop her mind it’s too late she jumped off the rocky cliff edge her imagination is now her worst nightmare.She plunged into the surging water as she braced herself for the impact holding her breath she sees light as she got closer the bigger and louder it got it was like a strong force was pulling me she could no longer control herself she starts to loose her breath she knew straight away that she would never make it out alive, then all of a sudden she starts to float away from the hole.

Ballantynes Fire Blurb

By Anonymous -
This term for P.B.L we have been learning about New Zealand history. We had to choose a event in New Zealand and write a blurb about it. This is mine: The Ballantynes Fire On the 18th of November 1947 one of the staff members saw smoke coming out of the stairwell then the fire broke out at 3:30. Unfortunately when they tried to call the brigade they did not log this call. The staff on the ground floor assumed the fire could be maintained so no evacuation happened. When staff came back they were told to get back to work without any sign about the fire.They only started evacuating the staff and customers once the smoke got more intense and became more dangerous. Sadly 41 people died and a pregnant staff member jumped to her death from the building. Source : NZ History Do You Know Anything About The Ballantynes Fire? If So What?
