ANZAC Recount Success Criteria

The Death Zone

It’s 2 a.m in the morning of April 25th 1915. I was scared. My knees were shaking. So was all of my friends. I was sitting the middle of the landing boat. I was holding my gun like it was the last bit of food in the world.

Suddenly my friend Perez got shot in the head.  His brains splattered all over the landing boat and me. I whispered to goodbye to my  mate.

Then I heard a bullet fly past my head and hit my other  friend in the chest. Then “BOOM”.  Hundreds of bullets come flying around our boat. I felt a sharp pain in my right arm. I grabbed my gun and started shooting.I was about to enter the Death Zone.By Denzel

My Speech

Why Pokemon Cards Should Be Banned At Elm Park.

Pokemon cards are fun to play with. But when people steal your cards you get really angry. The problem is  you don’t know who stole them because there’s at least 12 other people in the school who have the same cards as you had.

And you want your cards back. Whoever stole them  should give them back because if they don’t then the game  could get banned at school because some people are not sticking to the rules and being fair.

It’s not fun when your cards are stolen. You don’t have fun at all. You wont have as much fun as when you had all your cards. If they get stolen you should tell the teacher straight away so they know they have been taken. Then that makes a problem as the Teacher then has to try to find out who stole the cards.

We need to have rules like….

(1.) Pokemon cards should be kept in your Tote Tray in class time so they don’t get stolen.

(2.)  If cards are stolen go straight to the teacher in your class or Mr Borcher.

(3.) Pokemon should not be allowed at school because of cards being taken from your bag.

In conclusion because these cards encourage people to steal and not be honest I think that Pokemon Cards should be banned from Elm Park School.
