The beirut Tragedy

                                                                   Beirut Tragedy


One month ago, today, 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded in the port of Beirut, killing more than 200 people, wounding 5000 others, and leaving 300,000 residents temporarily homeless.


This explosion is the third biggest explosion involving ammonium nitrate and it will go down in history to be one of the worst tragedies in the history of ammonium nitrate.



The tragedy still carries on people homeless and the fire has been neutralised but the buildings are shattered and this will take a long time to fix.

This week for current events we did an overall quiz so we went over some questions that we had done.

Summer learning Journey weekly activity



This was the first activity on the summer learning journey we had to colour in a artists image and recreated the colours.
Something I enjoyed about this was recreating the colours because you could do any colours you want and make it yours.

Armistice.

On 1918 The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month was the moment when hostilities ceased on the Western Front in 1918, following the signing of an armistice. 

 What is an armistice? An armistice is a formal agreement declared between two sides to stop fighting.
 In 1918 the germans were exhausted from all the fighting that they had been doing it was then when the german government approached the united states and asked for them to stop the war.

 After four terrible years of fighting the fighting officially ended on the eleventh hour the eleventh day and the eleventh month.

 Who has surrendered against the allies? 
 Bulgaria surrendered first. It signed an armistice with the Allies on 29 September 1918, following an offensive against it earlier in the month. News of its capitulation spread throughout New Zealand on the morning of Tuesday 1 October. People hoisted flags and bunting on buildings and ships, set off sirens, rang bells, blew whistles and cheered.

 The next country to surrender was Germany German armed forces surrender unconditionally in the west. Soviet forces encircled Berlin, the German capital on April 25, 1945. This surrender was the most historic event in world war one. The last countries to surrender that were Britain, France, Italy and Russia they all signed an armistice to end the world war.

I enjoyed doing this because it was really interesting and I learnt a lot about the war and what happened in the war.
I found this really interesting and fun to learn.

Chinese Singles Day.




Today we had to choose a question out of a quiz that we did and I chose the Chinese shopping day.

I really enjoyed doing this because it was really interesting to learn about and it was totally new to me.

something I found challenging was getting the information because on some websites the numbers were different and it was hard to find the right information but I did in the end.
here is a video of me explaining it to you.
I hope you learn something.
