After the war was all about trying to make Albania apart of the Italian Empire. So the event happened in Albania 1938. The people who were in the war were Italy and Albania. But Italy had 22,000 soliders but Albania had 8,000. That isn't really fair.
10 September: Canada declares war on Germany
After Germany invaded Poland the United Kingdom and France declared war on September 3. To assert Canada's independence from the UK. Canada accepted that they could go to war. I don't where it started but I am guessing Germany.
Activity 2: Click on this link to find a list of VC winners. Choose one from the Second World War, and read about him. On your blog tell us about him. Who was he? What did he do to earn a Victoria Cross medal?
Corporal Leslie Andrew
Corpal Leslie Andrew got the VC award for his actions during an attack on the village of La Basseville, near Messines.
Bonus Activity: For this activity, you are going to imagine that you are just like Dorothy and that you are working as a nurse on a large medical ship.
One day you are walking along the deck of the ship when you hear a loud bang. You start to run as you see smoke coming from the far end of the ship. You run towards the room where your patients are waiting to receive treatment from the doctor. Just as you arrive at the door to their room you hear another loud bang and you... go to see what that was. You realise that you were being under attack by the Nazis. You take your patincts and hide down below. There are more gunshots everywhere. At that moment you realise that the boat is out of control. They captain must've been shot. You go up to where the captain has been shot which he has and you decide to drive the ship. You do do it and get away from the boat before anyway else has been hurt. The captain was later taken to hostpital and survived. Everyone is now calling you there hero :)
Review: WOW this one was really cool when we had to reaserch everything. I give it 5 stars.
Hi Bella,
ReplyDeleteRuby here from the Summer Learning Journey team. It's great to see you've been tracking well with these activities!
Activity 1: There were so many events during the war! You've chosen some good ones and summarised them nicely. The War was brewing for a while before it began but it started with Germany invading Poland in 1939. I'm guessing no one had a good day that day!
Activity 2: Good work. I'm sure Leslie Andrew was quite the hero if he won a Victoria Cross medal! Can you tell us some more about what he did to earn the medal? He must have done something amazing! There are only 1,358 Victoria Crosses that exist. That's not very many when you think about how many people fought in the war!
Bonus activity: What a great imagination you have! A lot of people would have ended up doing all sorts of things during the war that they normally wouldn't be allowed to do. Because all the men were away fighting, a lot of job opportunities opened up for women. This was the beginning of women being able to have whatever job they want.
I look forward to reading more of your blog over summer.
Cheers,
Ruby.
