Maori Pioneer Battalion

This week in Inquiry we are doing a timeline of 1914-1918. I worked together with Avalon. This was about the Maori Battalion. I learnt that Native people weren't aloud to celebrate once they came back from New Zealand because of their skin color. The people that wanted to join they had to be the age of 21- 40 years old.

Amnesty Day Commemoration

Today at 10- 11 am we did a commemoration for 100 years of having peace. We went outside were the Medic- Cube was put next to it was poppies. We had poppies, speeches and we were signing the songs that we usually sing in assembly. We had a special guess from the NZ  army force that came and said a speech, he also came to our class at the end of the Commemoration and talked about what he does in the NZ army force, we also asked some questions. In the morning before we went to tech we had our poppies placed in the cross and on top of it had sand. Mele and Jack took our big Poppie and placed it on the fence. Also we had Aung Naing doing he flag when we were have 1 minute of silence to think about the people that went to war. We also had some other poppies made from classes and staff members. At the end of the Commemoration we stacked the chairs and went and took it inside the hall. It was pretty cool the flag was slowly going up and slowly going down. I learnt in some of the quote was ' we remember them we remember them' which got me thinking about 18,000 people dead from the World War 1.

World War 1

Today I worked together with Avalon. We had 2 tables that had Facts and the marking. Me and Avalon got all of it correct because we remembered facts about World War 1. One of the facts that I didn't really know was Allied forces had New Zealand, USA, Australia, England and other countries. I learnt that the Zeppelin Raids was a Ship. It was created in May 1915. Bombs could be dropped on the ground from the sky. You also needed people or someone flying it and controlling it.
