Oscar's poster
This is the poster I made about Charles Darwin who sailed the world on the HMS beagle, a survey ship that was sent to look for exotic animals.
The reason I made thew poster about him was because he would have had to gone through many storms and treacherous reefs to go where he went.

Guy Fawkes
On the 5th of November
every year, for the past 408 years, we celebrate Guy Fawkes, and let off
fireworks. We are remembering the time when the Gun Powder Plot failed. In
England Guy Fawkes and his friends tried to blow up the king and House of Lords
with gun powder. They tried to blow up the parliament because King James had
made a law that the people in England were not allowed to be Catholics. Guy
Fawkes was caught guarding the barrels of gunpowder in the basement under the
Parliament House in the early hours of the morning on the 5th of
November, 1605. Some of the gang escaped, but Guy Fawkes and those that were
caught were tortured and executed.

Armistice Day
Armistice Day
The treaty
to end the Great War (World War 1) was signed on the 11th
of November 1918 at 11 am.
The soldiers
came back to New Zealand and the schools made athletics day to honour the
soldiers. They held it on Armistice Day until 1960 and changed it to the
closest Saturday so the parents could come. There was over 500 competitors and
the main race was the peace shield with was 220 yards. It even continued over
World War 2.

Armistice Day
Armistice
Day
Armistice Day occurred
on November 11th 1918 at 11am. All the soldiers came back and
teachers from schools they attended made an athletics day to remember the
soldiers and invited other people to come. The only problem was that it was on
a school day so the parents couldn’t come so in the 1960’s they changed it to a
Saturday so all the parents could come and celebrate. The Peace Shield is 220
yards. People watch the Peace Shield back then it was the only one but since
then people have been donating shields.
