Art for mother's day

For our mothers we are making pendants for them. We uesd air dry clay and we made different shapes with it. When they were dry we put ink on it if it was to dark we could wipe it with a tissue and put water on it. When it is mother's day we will give them to our mums.
Here is a photo of some of the pendants.

Nurses at war

Nursing was the only official way for women to go overseas during the war. Being a nurse was punishing and hot work. Some of the nurses went to look after the soldiers on a hospital ship, or White Ship it was sometimes called. Many soldiers got affected by mustard gas with burnt, swollen eyes and blistered throats. Nurses looked after shell shocked soldiers, amputees, bullet wounds, frost bite and much more.

Totara Springs

This week I went to Totara Springs. The first day we were there we just unpacked and had free time. The next day we did  absailing and the flying fox and other cool activitys. The first night we spent there we went to a forest and most of the dads scared us. The second night we went eeling and I caught a eel there is a photo of our group with the eel at the bottom. After we caught eel we roasted marshmallow and we made them into marshmallow sandwichs with biscuits. the next day we went to the hydroslide and the hot pool and then we left.
