Wearable Arts

 A couple of week ago we had a Wearable Arts Competition. All the kids from Awahono School attended this competition, which was really cool seeing all the costumes they had made. We had groups, the groups had 2-4 people in them. Our group was Me, Sophie, Tahlia and Amber, we all worked well, it was a bit stressful at the end though. Everyone looked like they were having fun, which is the main thing. Here is a photo of the making of our Costume. 

Student VS Staff Netball Game

 On the 13th of August, we had a students vs staff netball game to get our ASB Netball team ready for a tournament that we are attending on the 24th of August. Due to Covid-19 we might not be able to do the tournament. We had lots of fun with the staff, getting pushed around and even some people falling over, which was not good. Hopefully we will be able to have another game against the staff, before we go to the tournament. Our team had Me, Sophie, Tahlia, Haylee Alex, Zoe, Anusshika, Deaykn and Solly, we all played exceptionally well. We won 12-10.  

What is a Bugle Call?

Hey guys today we have to find out what a bugle call was. I decided to post mine. I have put all the bugle calls and the definition of what a bugle call is. Here they are!

What is a bugle call?

A bugle call is were they have a trumpet and they have different calls, they retreat men,assemble the men and to warn men. I will tell you all about the calls and what the are.

First Call:

Is a call to warn the soldiers to prepare to get into formation.

Reveille:

The call told the men to come out of their beds and get ready for the day.

Asebbley:

This call was signalling the men to form ranks for the first three roll calls held through out the day.

Guard mounting:

Assignments for the guard duty followed the 9 am call of guard mount.

Drill Call:

Was a warning to turn up for drill

Recall:

Signals duties or signals to ceace.

Mail Call:

Mail calls signalled personnel to assemble for the distribution of mail.

Officer Call:

This call signaled all the officers to assemble at a designated place

First sergeant call:

Warned that the first sergeant was about to form company.

Retreat Call:

The retreat call signaled the end of the official day.

Taps:

This call sent them to bed with all lights out.

Thats all the calls I think. As you can see there are lots of call the soldiers had to remember and what they used back in the day.

What are the qualities a leader would have?

Hey guys, today's post is about the qualities a leader would need to be a good leader. We had to read a bit of writing, we had to find 5 good qualities a good leader would have. Then see what qualities Colonel William Malone had. These are the ones I thought a good leader would have. Then we had to write the ones our NZ Leader(Jacinda Arden) has.

What are the qualities a leader would have?

First off you have to be confident in what your doing, in the war, they definitely need to be confident. If they weren’t then they would probably panic because they have no clue what they are doing. 

They have to know what everyone is doing, and making sure soldiers are doing it right. But at least they have other ranks so that they can also help.

As Colonel William Malone said he looked after his men, he cared for them with treatment if that had gotten wounded or something else happen. So if you were a leader that quality is a good one to do. And making sure you are encourage them and keeping them calm in the process, cause like he legit got shot or something.

I would say encouragement is a biggie, if the soldiers didn’t want to fight and get hurt, I would say” All you have to do is defend our country, aim for the target, and have hope in what you’re doing,all this way for nothing, we are better than this,lets go boys!” Something like that just to encourage them from being scared.

Hope, I would say hope,because to be in Colonel Williams shoes you would want hope that at the end of the war you were still alive, by then you share memorable memories that were shared whilst shooting.

I would definitely say our leader Jacinda Ardern, has hope, that Covid-19 will be over soon, and that nobody else pass away. She has encouragement to everyone, she makes people happy, and makes them feel safe. She is definitely confident in being the Leader, she can talk to anyone calmly, and gets everything done. Jacinda Ardern also makes sure everyone is doing the right thing at the right time. So she is an amazing leader for what she is doing to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

LockDown Anzac Day

Hey guys, since we have to stay at home for Anzac day,  because of Covid-19 we had to brainstorm some ideas of what we could do to still have an Anzac day at home. Here are my ideas.

First of all I thought you could ring up your family and talk to them and have a minute of silence to remember those brave Soldiers and Mascots who thought in the war for our country. 

You could sing the national anthem by yourself or with family. Talk about war, soldiers and mascots. Maybe talk about what you would feel if you were soldiers fighting, if your were scared, proud , happy anxious any kind of feeling.

You could bake Anzac biscuits for you people in your bubble. Watch war movies and think of what it made you feel. Draw pictures of poppies, make a cross, draw soldiers.

So those are the ideas I thought about doing, while at home on Anzac Day.
