The first week back from the the October holidays we learnt about…

      WWI, As a mini two week long topic we decided to learn about WWI in celebration of the 100th                 anniversary of its end, here’s a  short amount of what we’ve learnt so far.

Weapons, we learnt about many weapons that were used and developed during WWI. These include:

MG’s, Riffles, Artillery Guns, Clubs, and Flame Throwers.

Life on the front line, For soldiers that were in the trenches, living there was hardly suitable for any     solider’s to bare, the food was barely edible and each solider lived in constant fear of losing their lives.       flooding was a serious threat as solider’s could develop “Trench Foot” where your foot begins to rot           away.

Letters, we wrote letters pretending we were soldiers in the trenches to our family’s. we highlighted what would have been scored out with a black marker.

PE, in PE this week we did a beep test to test our fitness, we will soon be retaking it to see our improvements.

Coding, In ICT we did coding and tested our computing skills and concentration towards detail in code.

Spooky Stories, we wrote scary descriptive stories of a haunted house/castle in celebration of Halloween.

Class Novel, for our class novel we are reading the Nowhere Emporium about a orphaned boy who stumble’s upon a shop that he returns to later on… but nobody else does…

Looking forward to week 2 we are always ready to learn, Bye!
