Roald Dahl Boy

Title: Roald Dahl

Chapter: Getting dressed for the big school. 

State: Uniform

Explain: In this chapter, Roald Dahl got sent off to a British public school Repton. In this, he has to buy a uniform which he doesn't like. On the day of school, he has to get into his uniform and he finds it hard with the fancy collars and things that he doesn't like. It takes him a while but eventually he gets it and hops on the train to school.

Examples: 

butterfly collar, braces, waistcoat, tailcoat.

Example of Britain public school uniform:

Why do Christchurch NZ schools value school uniforms?

I think that NZ/Christchurch schools use uniforms because it's culturally accepted because everyone would feel a part of the group. This means that everyone would be together and it also goes with the Maori concepts of the Whanua all sticking together. 

They also have their uniforms for reasons such as everyone looking tidy and so people cant be bullied by their clothes.

Title: New Zealand Olypian Gianni Stensness opts for Australia as All Whites squad name.

Author: Andrew Voerman

Text type: Article

One of NZ's top Oly Whites will decide to play for Australia which was the country of his birth doing forward. He 22 male had played every minute of the Olympics at Center Back. NZ isn't too worried though since they have many great players in the same position. Captain Winston Reid is still the Country's preferred position but he hasn't been named to play these exhibition matches. Members of the team have stated: "I'm not going to say it isn't disappointing to see Gianni make that choice". This is disappointing to many members and fans of this football team.

My opinion on the text:

I think that many fans and members will miss the player but they do have many good replacements so its not to much of a hassle for the team.

Characters Met: The Matron, Headmaster, Roald Dahl, 

Description:

Roald Dahl, had to go to the doctor for an issue with his nose and mouth after it was thought he had adenoids. In boiling water, the doctor put a metal rod. Then the doctor then pulled out the metal rod which turned out to have a blade attached to it. The doctor made Roald open his mouth and cut out the flesh from Roald's mouth. These ended up being his agnoids. The doctor made him spit every last bit of the adenoids. He then went home and rested. unfortunately, in the 1920s they didn't use any anesthetic so that would have hurt a heap but it was normal so it wasn't a fuss.
