A lot of the answers we had to find were from different sites. on the very last slide we had to draw a picture and write about how it represents the soldiers.

Special Visitor
In the afternoon block Mr Burt came to visit the year 7 & 8's. Mr Burt came to talk about WW1 technology. He talked about his grandfather who took part in the first world war. Mr Burt's grandfather , Harry Irwin was also Miss Flavells grandfather.
Mr But told us that his grandfather was the first man to have his own bicycle. His grandfather had a olden day bicycle. He said that there were no brakes on the bike so when you would go down a hill you will have to use your feet to stop yourself from going too fast. Women couldn't ride bikes because back in the olden days the girls wore dresses and if they lifted their leg up their underwear would show.
He talked about the word militarism. He said that in the olden days militarism was when people wanted to start fights for no reason . Well that's exactly what the British and the German were doing.
There were war between the British and the Germans. They were about how the New Zealanders made a battle ship by the the name of Dreadnought. Dreadnought was all over the newspapper in the olden days. But when the Germans saw it they decided to make a battleship that was twice as bigger and way better.They were all arguing about how they were going to destroy each others Ships.
Mr Burt told us that the soldiers went to dangerous places and how they got really bad diseases and went home and gave the disease to their children and wife. The disease caused many soldiers to die.
It was really interesting and sad when Mr Burt came and told us about everything his grandfather had been through and done.

Anzac Research
Hey did you know that me and my buddy were researching about world war 1. We were researching thing they used and thing they had to wear. The guns they had to use was a Rifle with a Bayonet at the top. They had to wear boots to protect their feet. Do you know what Gas Masks are used for? They are used to protect you so you don't die from gas bombs. Did you know that they used Grenades were used for blowing things up.
