Through the Eyes of a Soldier . . .
Our man Jethro received an impromptu applause from his teacher and classmates today for his piece of writing. Check this out!!!
I was advancing towards the German trenches in 1915. I heard shells cracking like party poppers in all directions. I saw machine guns blasting bullets from the trenches. I wondered if I was going to get shot by a sniper . . . Then at that exact moment I felt a shell make a massive explosion right in front of me. I was so frightened that I fainted and was carried away by a stretcher bearer to a nearby medic.
The One and Only Ivan
We began the year with a wonderful read aloud story - The One and Only Ivan, written by Katherine Applegate. Watch the book trailer below and read our story retells.
I am Ivan. I am a gorilla.
It's not as easy as it looks.
Ivan was a Silverback and he threw dung balls. Ivan lived in smelly sawdust. He painted himself and he drank poo tasting water. He ended up in a zoo with other gorillas. He loved it.

Once there was a mighty Silverback. His name was Ivan. He was an artist. Mack, Ivan’s owner, put a piece of paper in his enclosure. Ivan was a gorilla. He had a teddy gorilla too. He called it Not Tag because he had a sister called Tag. Ivan’s parents had their heads and arms cut off. Ivan had been at the Big Top Mall enclosure for 27 years. Ivan had three friends. One had died so I should not say her name. He did have Bob and Ruby. Bob was a dog and Ruby was an elephant. Ivan had to protect Ruby. Ivan had a dream and his dream came true.

The One and Only Ivan the Mighty Silverback is a really good artist. He threw dung balls at people passing by. At the Big Top Mall he was in an enclosure but he is now with other gorillas. Now he is happy.

Ivan was a mighty Silverback. He lived in the Big Top Mall and Video Arcade for 27 years. In his 27th year at the Mall he came up with a plan to make a gigantic picture for his friends Julia and her Dad to put on a sign to turn people against the mall. It worked because a news video man came to interview the mall and got the claw stick in it. The mall was shut down and all of the animals were transported to a zoo.

Ivan is a gorilla. He is a mighty Silverback. He lived in a dirty 27 year old enclosure. He used to throw dung balls at people. He made a teddy called Not Tag because his sister died and her name was Tag. He had cotton candy and ice cream in the old enclosure. Ivan had the dirtiest water to drink. Ivan was really smart. Ivan made loads of friends. Ivan was a really poor pet.
