Hey Samuel,
ReplyDeleteThis is Jade C from the Summer Learning Journey! What are your plans for today? Are you enjoying the holidays as well as doing the SLJ activities? :)
I can see that you have chosen two events related to declaration of war. It's very interesting to find out why New Zealand declared war on Germany and Italy.
Also, I've watched the film 'Dunkirk' in cinemas and it was really hard for me to watch because it had blood and gruesome scenes that made me keep my eyes closed... A lot of soldiers were killed and there were multifarious number of brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives for our country and the peace of the world.
I believe that you've searched for some information and facts about these two events! It would have been awesome if you had given more detail about those two events in the post so the readers could also learn more about these two events as well :)
All the best,
Jade C.
