ADVENTURE WEEK
Last week we had a adventure week on Monday I went surfing with Mr Redmond and then went ice skating which was so fun. Then on Tuesday I went all over Christchurch and did a photography task where we had to take as many photos as we could of the things the sheet told us to do we also got ice cream. On Wednesday I did werewolves (which is a super fun game) and also skateboarded on the court. Then on Thursday we went to jelly park and had so much fun and on Friday it was fun day which is where you can do what ever you want.

TEN FACTS ABOUT WW1 !!
Ten facts about WW1
1) World War 1 began on july 28 1914. The conflict lasted 4 years, 3 months and 14 days. Ending on November 11 1918
2) The two sides of the war where he Triple Ententes (also known as The Allies) were Britain, France, Ireland and Russia. The Central Powers were Germany and Austria-Hungary.
3) Italy originally sided with the Central Powers. They were part of a Triple Alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary but they did not enter the way because their alliance was supposed to be defensive, but Germany and Austria-Hungary had taken the offensive and declared war.
4) World War 1 has many different names It was called The Great War, the World War, the War to End All Wars, World War 1, WW1, the War of the Nations and more.
5) Over 8 million soldiers died in World War 1, and another 21 million injured. A staggering 65 million soldiers were mobilized during the war.
6) Chemical weapons were first used in WW1. Using poison gas was considered a war crime, but tear gas wasn’t considered to be a conflict by the troops. The Germans were the first to use lethal gases when they used chlorine gas attack. Later they also developed and used the most effective gas of the First World War — mustard gas. The British were shocked at the German use of poison gas, but developed their own gas warfare to retaliate.
7) The U.S. were only in combat for 7 months. During this time, around 116,000 soldiers were killed and 204,000 were injured.
8) A battlefield explosion in France was heard in England. The majority of WW1 was fought in muddy trenches but one group of miners dug underground tunnels to detonate mines behind enemy trenches. One mine, in Messines Ridge in Belgium, detonated 900,000lbs of explosives and completely destroyed the German front line. This explosion was so loud and so powerful that the British Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, heard it all the way back in Downing Street, London 140 miles away.
9) 9 out of ten soldiers survived
In World War I most British soldiers moved around the trench system constantly and were not very often in the firing line. Their lives in WW1 would have been quite boring, with lots of routine jobs and duties.
10) Plastic surgery was invented because of the First World War
Surgeon Harold Gillies helped shrapnel victims who had terrible facial injuries with one of the earliest examples of plastic surgery. The twisted metal caused many facial injuries that were far worse than a straight-line wound of a bullet. The techniques used by Dr Gillies pioneered the techniques for facial reconstructive surgery.
