Lamb to the slaughter is basically about a Lady could Mary and she is way to obsessed with her husband Patrick. Patrick tells Mary something and Mary get so upset that she kills Patrick and trys to act innocent. Also there is an irony task and I also completed that.

Prefect Korero/ S.I.P.P

Since it is Samoan language week this week The prefects and Mr Burt decided to pick a Korero that kind of relates to Samoan language week. So the Korero for this week is... S.I.P.P (Say It Properly, Please). this Korero is mostly for people who have difficult names and many other cultural languages. So if there is something in Samoan and you don't know how to say it try and learn it and say it because some people take offence when you say their name or their language wrong.

Just clean it

The prefects korero is... Just clean it. Since the holidays has just passed and everyone is trying to get back into the normal ways, we decided to do just clean it as our korero for the 1st week of term 2. Our school was a bit dirty and had a lot of chip packets lying around and we thought that just clean it was the best korero for this week.
