This term we are learning about World War 2. We have learnt about the war leaders, evacuations, which countries took part and which were neutral. We all researched an important figure from World War 2.
In science we are covering electricity. This week are going to build electrical circuits, last week we drew them in our books.
Im looking forward to buliding the circuits it will be fun!
cool I like it.
it is really good learning about it is very interesting
i like it because in science we done circuitsand i drow them 🙂 :D:P
I like learning about world war 2 and finding out what happened beacuse it is interesting and I can’t wait to build the electrical circuits next week.
i like world war 2 because i like learning about wars
I am looking forward to making electrical circuits in science.
I Likewwtwo 🙂
wwtwo is fun 🙂 🙁
Hi,Are you building a shelter and making mini ones and putting the mini ones in the big shelter and letting p6 and p5 see and comment on them with sticky notes. Are the poles and wood by the toilets a shelter (well in the future) Sorry I didnt know how to spell it! 🙂
Hello Primary 7,
The study of World War II is an interesting part of history in many countries. I have read about the evacuations of children during the blitz and seen reenactments some heritage railways run in the UK. It’s hard to imagine how lonely and scared many children felt having to leave home for places they had never known.
In Australia, there weren’t any mass evacuations of children. While we had forces fighting in North Africa with British forces, we also had troops fighting the Japanese in the Pacific. At there greatest advance, the Japanese came very close to invading Australia.
My father was a soldier in WWII. He was sent to Singapore but, when the allied forces surrendered, he spent a number of years as a POW. Conditions were horrific.
Science, like history, is an interest of mine. As a boy I was interested in electronics before people had computers, CD and DVD players, VCR recorders or colour television. Transistor radios fascinated me when they came out. Imagine, you could carry a radio with batteries in one hand. 🙂
My first venture into kit building was a very simple electronic game. I took this interest into my primary classroom teaching and still have a number of pieces prepared for children to piece together to make circuits, with lights, bells and switches.
Enjoy your studies. You have an interesting class.
