Armistice day essay

                                                   Armistice day

Some people say that armistice day was the saddest day of the war but most say it was the happiest day of their lives.

Armistice day what is it not many people know what it is or what happens on that day. It is the day that the treaty for the end of world war one and it was signed by the united kingdom , united kingdom’s allies and Germany. When they signed the treaty they said that would be the end of all wars but then Germany started the world war two.

1914-1918 was how long world war one went for. I think armistice day is impoertant to new Zealand because we sent over 100,000 men and women to the first world war and 16,700 died and over 40,000 were wounded.

New Zealand celebrates Armistice Day because we had lots of troops in the war and we are part of the queens ruling.

To celebrate Armistice Day we have two minutes silence to remember all the troops in battle that were fighting for our country and the women who were helping with the medic people.

Here are some poems that they say on Armistice Day

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor do the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
we will remember them.

What are all this hubbub and yelling, Commotion and scamper of feet, with ear-splitting clatter of kettles and cans, Wild laughter down Mafeking Street?
O, those are the kids whom we fought for (You might think they'd been scoffing our rum) with flags that they waved when we marched off to war in the rapture of bugle and drum.
Now they'll hang Kaiser Bill from a lamp-post, Von Tirpitz they'll hang from a tree.... We've been promised a 'Land Fit for Heroes'--- What heroes we heroes must be!
And the guns that we took from the Fritzes, That we paid for with rivers of blood, Look, they're hauling them down to Old Battersea Bridge Where they'll topple them, souse, in the mud!
But there's old men and women in corners with tears falling fast on their cheeks, there’s the armless and legless and sightless--- It's seldom that one of them speaks.
And there's flappers gone drunk and indecent their skirts kilted up to the thigh, the constables lifting no hand in reproof and the chaplain averting his eye....
When the days of rejoicing are over, When the flags are stowed safely away, they will dream of another wild 'War to End Wars' and another wild Armistice day.
But the boys who were killed in the trenches, Who fought with no rage and no rant, We left them stretched out on their pallets of mud Low down with the worm and the ant.

With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.

Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.
There is music in the midst of desolation
and a glory that shines upon our tears.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables at home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.

But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain,
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness.

This is a picture of the treaty they signed.

That’s why I think New Zealand should celebrate Armistice Day and what it is for the people who didn’t know. Remember to have the two minutes silence on the 11 of November on the 11 hour of the 11 minute.

Last week we had the life education bus and we were talking about drugs and how drugs can effect you more when you are a kid. We discussed the names of the drugs and what they do to you and what classes they are. At the end we watched a song by harold.

Speeches

This week we have been presenting our speeches and Miss Brown has been marking them and when it was my turn to present mine I was really nervous because we had to present them in front of the whole class. but when I was about half way threw I wasn't to badly nervous. I had changed my topic from why fords are better than holdens to why rugby is the best sport in the world. this was because I couldnt finhd any information on why fords are better than holdens and my oinly good fact was that fords had made the first car but I couldnt find nothing else. When i finished my speech I was only 1 minute 55 seconds and it had to be atlest 2 to 4 minutes. I didnt really want to get into the finals anyway.

Yesterday we choose an athlete that we are going to follow during the Olympics and today my reading group has filled out a profile for the athlete. I choose Ryan Taylor he does the 50m rifle shooting.In 2004 he came 36th. This year he is competing in the same event but he recones he is a much better shooter and recons he has a good chance for gold.




This is a photo of Ryan Taylor shooting

This week we have been put in groups of three and have choose a question about the Olympics that will give us some stats and my groups question is what country has won the most gold medals from the years 1908-2008? So far USA has been the highest in most years .This is the website that we got all our information from http://www.olympic-2012-london.co.uk/records.php

Speeches

This term we are doing speeches and I am doing mine on 'why fords are better than Holden's ' because the speech has to be a persuasive speech which is a speech that persuade someone to do something or think something. I haven't started my speech but I will be this week in class and some of the information at home.
