Hello! Today (I. Blame it on talk to type) have a slideshow about Zeb. Zeb, if you were wondering, is the dog in the book, Skink Gully, by Des Hunt, who is coming to our school later, but this sentence is getting way too many commas.

I forgot the date of the Des Hunt visit, and for some reason it isn't in Gogol Calendar, so I can't say what it is. If you feel at all inclined to comment then ple

We just wrote a "trench diary", which I haven't finished yet. This ANZAC Day is going to be the last really big one for 50 years at least, because it has been about 100 years since the war ended. On the 11 November, there will be a big event because it will actually be 100 years since the war ended. Quite a few lessons have been ANZAC focused. I actually didn't do much on ANZAC Day itself. I'm not sure what I did on the day, because I wasn't keeping the date. Something significant that happened locally, was the reopening of the Mt Roskill Borough
