                                    The hateful letters to George Bollinger   (Intro) , George lived in New Zealand (Home Country), and his home town was Taranaki.                                                                         George Bollinger was injured in action in 1917 and hopefully not dead… George Bollinger fundraised badges for specific battles or Organizations. Family and friends wore them at home. George made it through a war in August 1914 WW1. Parlament sent hateful letters to george but the army Stayed on his side, so he was safe but not safe on the other hand. George was an interesting person, most people didn’t like him. And the catchphrase ‘He couldn't be trusted’. He never smiled which was odd. He died two days later he got injured sadly, his brother died 1 year later and 8 cousins died fighting some allies in the Western front. He got sent really hateful letters. I would hate it if people sent me hateful letters in bad time

On the 21st of march our school went on a Marae trip. We went to one of the teachers Marae called Hukanui Marae. We had to get idea's for our taniwha at the Marae play for writing. And we did sketching of a carving, pattern, a piece of nature, and whatever you want. In the meeting house/ where the people who live at it sleep, they answered any questions we asked. The Kapa Haka performed, and before we went into the meeting house we had morning tea. Before school i got told that some of my friend's had to put their morning tea into my bag.
