Overboard Anzacs

Today I learnt that when the soldiers died on the hospital ships at Anzac Cove, the nurses wrapped them up in cloth and tied weights to them, then the bodies were lowered into the sea. If they floated they pulled them back on board the ship and tied more weights so they would be heavy enough to sink.

Numbers between numbers

Today I learnt that there are numbers between all whole number. These numbers are called decimals and they are very small numbers and here is an example 0, .01, .02, .03, etc up to 1.

Wounded!

In World War 1, New Zealand and Australia went to war and landed in Galipoli. Loads of people got shot and survived because they were only slightly wounded. They got taken to a hospital ship so they could then be taken to Egypt where there were more Doctors, but it took 3 to 4 days to get there by boat . There were loads of people on the boat so it was really crowded and smelly, you could smell blood, boat oil, vomit and body waste. You could also hear cries of pain, screams, crying and sometimes shouting so it was a very unpleasent place to be. There were also only 2 docters on the hospital ship for 600 people.

Small Packaging

Today I learnt that if you had a friend or family member in war you couldn't send somthing big and heavy,only small and light things.The soldiers had to carry everything they got in their pockets.

Water ways ,Tove,Shannon

We learnt how the water cycle works , it starts off in the clouds then it comes down as either rain, snow or hail then it melts and trickles down the mountain as a stream and flows into the rivers and goes into the estuary ,which is where is all the rivers meet with the sea . There are lots of types of fish like Red Fin Bully , Giant Bully and Whitebait, but there's also pest fish like the Rudd and the Tench, which we don't want in our Waterways because they ruin the habitat for other good fish .
There's a few bad weeds like hornwart and parrots feather .There's only 0.6291 % of water we can use. So look after your water ! By Tove and Shannon

World war 1 Elly and Hayley

We have been learning about World War 1. We learnt that the ANZAC troops landed on the wrong beach and they couldn't get over the hill to shoot the enemy. ANZAC stands for Australia, NewZealand Army Corps. The ANZAC lost the war but they stopped the enemy taking other land by taking over other countries.
