Word War 1 Transport Ship

This week Jayden, Marieta, Pua and I learnt about Life on the Transport Ship for World War 1. Together we all worked collaboratively to find information about the Transport Ship. In World War 1 there was a Transport Ship that took the enlisted people from New Zealand to Egypt ( which was there base ). I learnt that over 550 nurse died at war. It took about 6 weeks for the soldiers to get to Egypt. Each one of us received different roles to do. While Marieta and I were writing the 5 w's and H, Pua and Jayden were finding images and information about the Soldiers. We added the source links for the sites and images we used. Each group was to present their shared DLO's, which showed others that we were gaining our researching skills. 

The Unfinished Drink

Toady LS2 created special Google drawings about a solider named La Tour Mollet d'auvergne. To complete this google drawing I worked together with Angela. When the train came at 7:20 he left his beer with his friends and told them to make sure no one breaks it or touch it so that when he comes back he could finish the drink. Sadly La Tour Mollet did not return. Now the Waihao Forks Bar laid the bottle in a special box full of poppies to remember his last words and his last drink. I felt sad how they said he never returned which told me that he died overseas. 

Memorial

This week for reading our focus was learning different memorials. Everyone created a presentation to show the activities we have been studying. I decided to choose this slide about different types of memorials. For this task I found out the definition of memorial, an example of  memorial, and 3 pictures of different memorials in Auckland.  The memorials I chose were One Tree Hill, Bastion Point, and Auckland War Memorial.
