TV Show Favourite, Week 3, Day 2

Gravity Falls
My favourite television show around now would likely be Gravity Falls, which is a show about 2 twins moving to a new small country named Gravity Falls.  This place has many unusual sightings and many people have been terrified after seeing these beasts.  The people starring this movie is Mabel Pines and Dipper Pines, which are the twins, Stan Pines, who is their great uncle, and lastly Soos and Wendy, who work at Stan's house he turned into "The Mystery Shack".  I would like to believe this show is on quite a few television channels but the channel I watch it on is 103.

Meat And 3 Veg Rule, Week 3, Day 1

The Rule Of The Meat And 3 Veggies

The Meat And 3 Veg Rule was used by many housewives towards making an evening meal.  They would pick a meat such as beef, lamb or chicken as the main meat, and pick 3 veggies to put aside the meat.  This could be anything such as the cooked potato, crisp cold carrot, or even some cooked pumpkin, and this meal would produce enough vitamins and energy for humans to continue on working for almost the rest of the day!

1940 - 2017 Clothing Difference, Week 2, Day 5, Part 2

1940 - 2017 Clothing Difference

My opinion between 1940 and 2017 clothes is that although they both look extremely similar they are made of competently different quality materials and colouring.

My VE Party Plan

My plan would be to make a peaceful party with my friends and family we would have a relax at somewhere like a nice park, and enjoy a walk down a bush track, and afterwards maybe go to a fancy cafe so we all can have a well deserved snack.

Victoria Cross Winner, Week 2, Day 4, Part 2

John Hinton

Who Was He:
He was a fellow soldier working with many New Zealand and British soldiers, who gave up on retreating and used grenades and a few guns to storm 2 German houses and blow up the gun crews, soon afterwards getting shot in the stomach and taken hostage, although he escaped and attempted it many more times.

Reason For Earning Victoria Cross:
He didn't want to retreat anymore, so he fought over and over getting more and more beaten up until he couldn't go on anymore and ended up in a hospital bed where he got his Victoria Cross.

Two Key Events Of World War 2:

  • 8 January 1940: Rationing begins in Britain.
  • 20 July 1944: Attempted assassination of Hitler. 



8 January 1940: Rationing begins in Britain.
The war had meant a shortage in food because of destruction of land and sinking of supply ships.  A National Registry of citizens had been compiled and ration books were distributed.  
Rationing was introduced on January 8th 1940 to help prevent hunger.


20 July 1944: Attempted assassination of Hitler. 
On 20th July 1944 a group of conspirators attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler by exploding a bomb in his field headquarters near Rastenburg, East Prussia.  
More than 20 people were injured with 4 people dying.  Hitler was shielded from the blast by the conference table leg.
The failure of the assassination attempt and the following attempted coup led to the arrest of more than 7000 people with more than half being executed.
