World War 1

ANZAC 

For a few days Aylah, Emma and I (and the rest of the class have been making slide shows too,) have been collecting ANZAC facts and placing it in a slide show, I have learned:

1# 16 million animals that went to war that includes donkeys, horses,monkeys, cats, dogs and much more!

2# Did you know that a homing pigeon from France sent a message that saved 194 lives!

3# Caesar the dog was a hero because he saved 120 lives (as a redcross dog) he was also a little girls pet she was heartbroken when she heard the Caesar had died.

4# 100,000 New Zealanders went to war and approximately 1.1 million men came back!

5# 550 nurses from New Zealand went to the Great War and 12 died, 538 nurses came back from war.

The most interesting thing I have learned from someone else's slide is Coronal Malones trained the soldiers, he was a big boss and extremely srict. He died in 1916. His statue is in Strafford NZ.

I learned how to pronounce numbers properly like millions we did it with place value. We used place value to add the guns in World War One.


1 hundred years ago
Most men go "let's go"
This is going to be easy
But soldiers get a bit messy.

4 years past and the war died down
Some soldiers came home
But some were left alone
Poppies grew as we did too
Lest we forget.
