Trench Warfare

LI: to learn about trenches

This week we learned about trenches and how they were used. Before World War One people used trenches to trap the enemies, and shoot them down with Bows and Arrows. Nowadays people use trenches for defence. So in our slide we wrote about the bad health conditions, and about the trenches. We also talked about No Mans Land. 

Armistice Day

This week we are doing a DLO about Armistice day. We had to work with a partner. In our DLO we had to listen to a song called the “Last Post”. The Last Post is a song for telling people that war time is over, also the Last Post is a song of remembrance for those people who sacrificed their lives for us. We listened to two version one was played using a trumpet, and the other electric guitar. Then we listened to two poems. One was “For the Fallen”, and the other was Ode of the Remembrance. We had to write information about “For the Fallen”, and write why we say the Ode of Remembrance still to this day. Then we talked about Poppies, and talked about why it’s still used.

Immediate Cause of World War 1

LI: to learn about the causes, conflict, and resolution to World War 1
This week for Inquiry we continued on about World War One. We learned about an acronym that involved with World War One. The acronym we learned was M.A.I.N. It stands for:
M for Militarism
A for Alliance
I for Imperialism
N for Nationalism
Militarism means the belief of having to have a good military, with flashy guns, and having an amazing arsenal. Alliance means to work together with a person, or a nation. Imperialism is when a country has a big military and picks on smaller, weaker, and poorer countries. Nationalism means to be proud of your nation and having pride in it.
