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 .
