Conflict Information Report: By Teagan


VIETNAM WAR

Did you know that North Vietnam was so strict and didn’t like people to be relaxed and laid back. While South Vietnam was exactly the opposite and listened to music, smoked cigars and wore jeans . Thats how war started, war is legalised  violence between two or more countries.

North Vietnam was communist (strict) and didn’t like the way South Vietnam was acting. South Vietnam were smoking cigars, listening to music and wearing jeans. While North Vietnam was different they didn’t listen to music and dressed very formal. In happened in 1957 and ended in 1975. There were two sides fighting they were called the Coalition Forces and the Allied Troop.

There were a lot a weapons used in this war.  They used heaps of rifles and used airplanes as weapons too. They used boats and tanks to kill and destroy. There was a new deadly gas called napalm gas which burnt your skin. There were over  four hundred  thousand people died in the war, more people died in the war than there is people in Samoa and Tonga.

America took away their army from the war because they were anti war. Now South Vietnam had little support. North Vietnam were getting more weapons from Russia. North Vietnam were getting stronger and South Vietnam were getting weaker. So South Vietnam had no choice but to surrender.

To show that North Vietnam was boss they changed the capital city of South Vietnam from Saigon to Ho Chi Min City. Vietnam was now a communist country and lived by very strict rules. A lot of people had no house and lived in poverty. Men in families were separated and had to go fight. A lot of children in Vietnam have two cultures (Vietnam and American) and didn’t get treated the same.

Did you know the youngest soldier killed was 16 years old and the oldest man killed was 62 years old, thats old he must have had strong bones for a old person.

Eastern Beach Recount: By Teagan





I had butterflies in my stomach I was ecstatic about going to the beach. We got told to be safe but have a fun day by Mrs. Anderson. Room 9 and Room 6 were grouped together. We all sprinted  onto the bus to sit on its back as it ran through the streets. We  finally got to the beach. I was tingling all over it was like spiders were on my skin. I could smell the fresh sea air and the revolting mud. The day wasn't perfect it was like the sky's big moustache was covering the sun as it tried to fight through the moustache.

We had to sit on the ground when Mr. Johnston talked to us about having a safe but fun day. Then we sprinted to the shade under the tree, it was the best spot. Ms. Kirkpatrick talked to us about watching over the little dolphins in the sea. Our group was first up for kayaking. Our group got the best deal because our life jackets weren't wet. I got in the boat I was so nervous I was sweating in the cold, shaking like an earthquake, my kayak was shaking too.


I looked over to the little dolphins bouncing and screaming their heads off.  I looked at the water it was like glass. I could see my clear reflection.  We raced out all the way to the pink buoy in the deep area. After that we then held each others kayaks and then Ms. Kirkpatrick gave us the hardest mission. We had to switch boats in the water.  Katarake and I went up first, it was nerve wracking we had to step onto the other boat. I was grappling with the person in the middle boat. We finally made it. I wanted to do it again but the game was over. Then there was another thrill seeking game, a game of tiggy. kayak styles. We raced back to shore and my kayaking fun was over, it was grass time for me from now on.


I was on the grass eating my food thinking how can Mrs. Anderson do this all day. I went to play some cricket.  Addnan and I had a strategy to get  people out it was genius. It was like like knocking down pins, until Suliasi, our tall classmate came. Then the plan was all over. Our cricket scheme had failed. After that I wanted to go in the kayaks again but I couldn't so I found another exciting game to get out the boring pit. I started  skimming rocks across the water. I tried to find rocks because rocks work the best. Two and three bounces was the highest I could get until Ms. Kirkpatrick told me to stop. Oh man back to the boring pit then we were told to pick up rubbish because we were going to go.

We once again hopped on its back, one by one before it ran through the streets back to school. We were on our way the bus was noisy as ever. People screaming and bouncing in their seats. We finally got to school  and I felt both excited and disappointed to leave the beach. Room 6 and Room 9 were going crazy (mostly room 6), Mrs. Anderson was saying Ms. Kirkpatrick owes her because she a 50 kids in her class going crazy. We had to wait about 20 minutes until the bell went so it was 20 minutes full of circus animals!
