Your summaries:

Mariah: On the 3 of August 1915.Rongo would always witier a letter and Rongo brother Rahia would always read it out loud and it would be sent on may and sent from Egypt.Tipu has heard Rongo’s letter countless times, and knows the words by heart.Both places Tipu has never seen. Because he has never been out.

Hope: On the 3rd of August 1915 Rahia was reading Rongos letter so he was told to read aloud. The letter was written in May and sent from Egypt. It also traveled from england. Those places Tipu has never seen before. Tipu has seen Rongos letter so many times he even knows it off by heart. Tipu could sense his mother leaning towards him. He knew what she would say, “The British in Egypt” and yet the British had taken another land from the native people. Whaea’s voice has been stony and hard and her eyes have had tears coming down ever since Rongo left. Tipu feels torn. Tipu knows that he should be loyal to his mother's iwi and stay with her since Rongo has already left. But Tipu heard news going around that George has been killed and he wants to be with his brother more than ever.

Michael: In 1915 3rd of August Rahia was reading Rongos letter. Whaea always told Rahia to read it out loud most days. They wrote it in May and sent it from egypt, and the postmarks show that it travelled to England. Rongo, doing the haka his brother describes shirtless under the north african sun. Tipu knows that his mother is leaning in his direction. Whaea’s voice is stony and hard, but her eyes are shiny with the tears that have been there since the day Rongo left. Tipu feels torn. But Tipu knows that he should be loyal to his mother’s iwi, that Tipu shall stay with his mother now that Rongo is gone. But news had spread about Gallipoli. Big George has been killed over there. Tipu wants to be there with his brother Rongo more than anything else. Tipu felt sad and lonely since his brother is gone to ww1.                                   

Railey: on the 3rd of august 1915 Rahia was reading all the letters from Rongo, and he was always told to read it out loud. The letter was written in May, and was sent to Egypt, and to England that Tipu has never known about. Tipu has read Rongo’s letters so many times,  he didn't even need to listen to it, instead he’d emagine him being with his brother doing the haka in the war.

Davlyn: the 3rd of august 1915, Tipu was reading Rongo’s letter that was made in may and made in egypt, but the letter had travelled through england. Tipu already read the same letter too many times, but this time he did not listen, instead he imagined that he was at war with his brother doing the haka. Tipu was torn to notbe with his brother.

Eh Htoo: 3 August 1915 Rahia is reading his brother's letter. The letter was written many times. Tipu has heard Rongo’s letter lots of times, and sometimes he did not listen. He would dream of doing the haka in the hot african sun with Rongo. But Tupi heard his mother and listened to it and he should stay home. In Britain in Egypt they have taken the land of native people off that country. People heard from the one you said big George died in. Gallipoli.

The island of doom

“ man have you heard of the island of giants? “ said jack
“I’ve heard of it but I think it’s just a rumour plus we’re protected from the british kingdom’’. ‘’So even if we went there and where to get stranded the british army would save us”.

Jack and James were one of the top scientists inside the whole world. So they were to take a helicopter to the island of giant to study them and take a piece of them to test if it has any DNA to create a giant on their side. But they had to wait for 6 months until they got there because the island was on the other side of the world.

Jack James was starting to look like a ghost because they haven't seen the sun in ages because the helicopter had no windows except for the front. They were flying across the sky when they saw a giant head in the sky. Then that's when they thought hard when they said it was a giant. They have never seen a giant that was that big. Both scientists were amazed at how bit the giants were expecting something much smaller like the size of a dino. There are more than 70 giants.

The giants spotted the helicopter and thought it was a toy so they all ran towards the helicopter. James and Jack were terrified so they both jumped off and swam to sea. The helicopter came crashing and made a big explosion. They worried because they could not contact the british empire. But what they were more terrified of was the big things all around them so started to wonder if there were animals bigger than the size of the giants. But when they were tryna look for the helicopter they saw a fish that was just on the edge of the island so they drew help on the sand just in case a helicopter flies by. They had to plan so James said “what if the giants think it’s a toy again so they would hold up a flag telling whoever comes to land on a huge piece of wood on the water with spikes on the bottom so the giant fish can’t get them. 

They broke off some of the pieces of the tree’s and scooped some of the sand to study it when someone comes to save them. They started to explore the island. They both went to the middle of the island using a campus. It was like everything little on the other side of the world is opposite on this side of the world. But when they got to the middle they saw a big ancient dinosaur judging by it’s spike and a huge gorilla fighting to be king.                           To be continued….

Vaccines are meant to help your body fight back any bacteria that would come to them. At the time they had something they  could zinc sulphate gas they thought it would help fight back the viruses but it was not proven.They had to stand next to other different people so they would probably get sick.  After the war everybody partied then all of them got sick.

Strain    -Type of something
Claiming  -Real sickness
Severe  -Undesirable   
Haemorrhage - when you bleed inside
Pneumonia  -You're Filled with fluid
Cyanosis  -Skin changes colour.
Fluid - kinda like a water flowing

This flu in 1918 was like the plague because they both go for your lung and then you get less oxygen so your skin changes. The strain was similar to the plague because it changes the skin when they die, the skin changes because the lungs gets flooded with liquid so it is difficult to breathe like the plague but it does not fill up with liquid.

The strain affected ages of 20 to 40 years old.
