World war 1

My writing group decided to write a movie script to show some of the things we learnt about . WW 1.  Our movie is about the people who set off to war to save their country. We have been learning about the ANZAC soldiers and WW 1.  In our literacy class, we have been reading different stories about the things that happened during the war.  What I found interesting is that they use Geophones to keep track of their enemies . A Geophone is something with an ear piece connected to a disc shape microphone. When you move one disc around you can hear what they are saying or doing .

What I couldn't imagine is the people who starved ,that was cold and probably had very little to eat . Imagine you getting off the boat and straight away your friend die. How sad!


This is our story board .

In zeal - zone we had to make a presentation about world war 1 . We had to list all of the equipment that they used in world war 1 . After we did our presentation we had to post it on to our blog .

Is Technology - Good or Bad

Today Mr Burt had a little talk with the year 7 and 8 students about technology . Mr Burt asked us if technology is good or bad . In my mind I thought it was good . Anyway Mr Burt had a grandfather who went to war , he showed a photo to all of the year 7 and 8 and another photo of Ms Flaval Grandfather   too .

He showed us pictures of ships that the British  would use in World War 1 and he showed another bigger and longer ship that Germany made . Then he showed us other loads of things that the British would make tanks , guns and planes  and then he showed  us another pictures  of the exact same thing but   bigger , stronger  and longer  that the Germany  made .

 Then he told us that back in the days they use to have bicycle , one with a big  wheel and  a small wheel at the back  . But then there was a new type of bike that came out it had two big wheels not a small wheel  a big wheel . Anyway he said that his grandfather was the first man to own a  bike like that isn't that really cool . Then he told us that girls weren't allowed to rides bikes because in the past they had to wear dresses .  

The First bike with two big wheels .

After he told us his story he said that the British and the Germans were actually cousins . Isn’t that really sad they wanted to take over each other’s  country just because New Zealand  thought that they were tough with their ship and when it was on the newspaper  the germans heard about it and then they wanted to do a better one . Thats how they had world war .

Maths - Measurement

For maths we had to learn about measurements . We learn all the Vocabulary about measurement like  Kg , Km and many other things . Ms Peato gave us 5 questions to complete . I completed five questions and showed how I worked it out .

Zeal-Zone

Every Fridays team 5 gets split up in groups . We do this because we have something to do with Zeal - Zone . Today for Zeal -Zone I am in music .We are learning songs that people used to sing when it was war and comparing it to the songs we listen to in the present . The song we are learning is We'll Meet Again by Vera Lynn . It is a very slow jam song and it is kind of nice to listen to . After we learn the song we are going to perform in front of team five .

World war 1

The reason why I chose to do this because I thought that the the two army people can represent the people that went to war  to fight for their country and that the two poppies on top at the corners can represent Flanders Field . This is what helps me remember all the people that saved their lives for our country and about world war 1  .
