For activity 2 of day 4 for week 2 from the Summer learning journey, I had to click on a link to read more about the timeline of world war 2. Then we had to choose 2 key events and find more information about what happened on those days. Then afterwards we had to make a blog post and write a short summary of both of the two events and include the names of the people involved and where the event took place. Click the link below to check out the site.

Hi Victoria,
ReplyDeleteRuby here from the Summer Learning Journey!
Good work with this activity. I really like how you have included the link to the timeline on your blog so that people can find out more information if they would like to.
Those are two very important events right at the start of the war! It would have been a very difficult time for people all over the world when war was announced. I wonder why Germany decided to invade Poland. Do you think there still would have been a war if that event didn't take place?
If the war started on the 1st September 1939, I wonder when it finished. How many years was the world at war? It affected so much of the world for so long!
I look forward to reading more of your blog over the summer.
Cheers,
Ruby.
Hello Victoria
ReplyDeleteWell done on finishing this summer learning journey activity. I like how you used numbers and dashes to order your information. I also like how you added the dates of the two events. Keep up the excellent work Victoria.
