Women at Work - Bonus Activity

Hello Blogging world! Both Women and Men severed in WWII. Women signed up to be nurses for the wounded men. And the men trained to be soldiers. My Nana Dorothy was one of those nurses. She was working on a big red cross medical ship. 

For this activity we have to write at least 6-8 sentences about a short story that Dorothy experienced. Here is what she experienced.

 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…Now it is my time to finish her story.

Dorothy and the Loud Bang!
Just as you arrive at the door to their room you hear another loud bang and you call out, "Does anyone know what is happening?!?" All the nurses frantically turned their heads in horror not knowing what to do. Just like a train every nurse grabs a wheelchair for every in pain patient. All the patients line up nears the massive windows to see what is happening, Dorothy slowly tilts her head up and boom! A bullet went through the other window. The furious ocean began to bump up and down. The ship began to shake and everyone trying to evacuate when Dorothy stays there, in the ship with the sick patients trying to help them. Ka Boom! Everyone gasped they lost one nurse and all of the 18,000 wounded patients. What now?


There was my story finisher. I hope you have liked my story that I wrote. Please feel free to leave a comment this story was over 8 sentences but I enjoy writing that is why. Bye! Bye! Blogging world!

A Call to Arms - Activity 2

Hello Blogging world! In WWII over 140,000 New Zealanders went overseas to help in the war. Many were sent to fight huge battles, including the Atlantic that lasted over 5 years! The Atlantic battle came to a end in 1943, In total of 22 New Zealanders have been awarded the VCs, because of bravery.A VC is short for Victoria Cross. We had to find 1 of the VCs winners in the WWII, and tell everyone about him and what he did to earn the VC. I chose Keith Elliott.


Keith Elliott is a man from Egypt. He got awarded the VC just because his effort at Ruweisat Ridge on 15 July 1942. Serving with 22nd Battalion, Elliot got badly wounded on his chest from a heavy machine gun. For his bravery we will all be thankful.

From making this blog post I learnt what a VC is and how you can earn it. I hope you have also learnt what a VC is if you haven't and now know a little bit more about a VC WWII winner. I hope you have enjoyed this blog post! Please feel free to leave a comment! Bye! Bye! Blogging world!

  1.  WWII started from a Germany army that went to Poland. WWII began at 1st September 1939. France and England declared Germany to start WWII.
  2.  On the 5th September South Africa starts to declares war on Germany. But 2 days before 5th September Britain, France, New Zealand and Australia declare war on Germany too. 

There is 2 Main people which is the leader of Germany and Poland, it is Adolf Hitler for Germany and Władysław Andershose was for Poland. WWII lasted about 6 years!
