Gallipoli Campaign | The Last Post.

 Hello my prends!!!!! 

Welcome to another blog for today. 

So today my class were studying about the Gallipoli Campaign, a war between British New Zealand and Australia against Ottoman Empire. and we listened to the song called The Last Post. 

The Last Post

Every 25th of April you will hear this song which is ANZAC Day. This song is commemorated as the end of the day’s war (Peace), and a funeral to those who died in the war.

Gallipoli Campaign

The Russians who were fighting on Germany's eastern front wanted the British and French to tackle the Turks to reduce pressure on Russia. The Anzacs Joined the British and French in a dreadful baptism of fire at Gallipoli. The British commanders anticipated that the Gallipoli peninsula would be "open to landing on very easy terms" and Turkey would have a force of only 40,000 to meet them. On 25 April 1915, the Anzacs landed at a difficult and desolate spot on the Gallipoli peninsula and the Turks appeared to be ready for them.

Atomic Science: Periodic Table

 Hello guys, today I am writing something about the periodic table that i learned in science.  

What does the periodic table show us?

• Mass Number

• Element

• Atomic

• Different column

• Different rows

• Features of the elements.

Alkali metals

Transition metals

Gases

The Periodic Table shows us the mass numbers on each element / atomic. On the Periodic table, there are different columns and rows on each. On each row, there are different features of the elements (Alkali metals, Transition metals, and Gases)

Alkali metals: Alkali metals react with any other element on the periodic table. Alkali metals have an unstable outer shell, so… The Alkali metals consist to get rid of their electrons by sharing. And that is why they react and explode because they have reacted.

What are alkali metals 

• 1st column

• Electron in outer shells

• What does it mean?

Parihaka by Tim Finn   Original Soundtrack      

 

My friend, My friend, I hate to see you suffer,

Events conspire to bring us to our knees,

My friend, my friend, you've taken this the wrong way, 

Rise up, defend yourself, never give in,

Look to the sky, the spirit of Te Whiti,

The endless tide is murmuring his name. 

I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,

And even at the darkest hour,

His presence will remain.

I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.

Te Whiti he used the language of the spirit,

Then stood accused, the madman and his dream,

He saw the train go roaring through the tunnel,

He heard the voice travel on the magic wire,

But he loved the silence of the river,

He watched the dog piss on the cannon's wheel.

I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,

And even at the darkest hour,

His presence will remain.

I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.

One day you'll know the truth,

They can't pull out the roots,

Come and take me home,

To weep for my lost brother.

They gather still, the clouds of Taranaki,

His children's children wearing the white plume,

So take me for the sins of these sad islands,

The wave still breaks on the rock of Rouhotu.

And when you taste the salt that's on your pudding,

And when you taste the sugar in your soup,

Think of Te Whiti, he'll never be defeated,

Even at the darkest hour,

His presence will remain,

I'll sing for you the song of Parihaka,

Come to Parihaka,

Weep for my lost brother,

The spirit of nonviolence,

Has come to fill the silence, Come to Parihaka.
