Hiroshima Day by Renee

Yesterday Room 2 learnt about Hiroshima day.  We watched a video on YouTube and then had a discussion about it. I learnt that Hiroshima day is when the  Americans bombed Hiroshima in Japan because they wanted to get revenge on Japan for bombing Pearl Harbour, a  military base in Hawaii, when America wasn't even part of the war.

The bomb that they used was new and hadn't been used before, so they were testing it out. I think that the two pilots that were flying the plane that was going to drop the bomb into the city were really brave because they didn't now if it would blow up the plane or the plane would burst into flames and they would die. The bomb had heaps of radiation in it and killed thousands of innocent people in the city.  I think the American's revenge was a bit harsh and that they should have bombed a military base like Japan did. 

I think this was very unsuccessful  and do not agree with what the Americans did.

Flight! by Renee

 Today Room 2 went to the museum to learn about flight. We looked at birds and a few bugs. The best part for me was looking at the bones of the birds. I also found it very interesting looking at the feathers of the birds and their wings!!! 

 After we  had looked at all the birds and completed our tasks we went up stairs to look at the bug room. I saw lots of interesting bugs but the best thing in the bug room was all the butterflies. I had a go at drawing a few of them and I also drew an evil bumble bee. I think  the trip to the museum was very exciting and fun!
