School Project — UK Year 4. World War II
I was asked by my son’s class teacher to help Jonathan to bring one fact a day to school, on their new topic of World War Two.
This request came from a mutual desire to help Jonathan to see the value of school. Jonathan is a bright, thoughtful eight year old, who finds school a little noisy; he'd prefer to stay at home.
My aims are simple, to demonstrate the value of, being organised, working to a plan, being diligent in research, and that ‘work’ need not feel like work. So far, we've had fun preparing five facts for each week over the weekend. There has been no Dad taking over syndrome.
7.1 french-and-indian-war
The French established forts throughout North America to control the fur and grain trade, leading to conflicts with British colonists over territory. The French and Indian War erupted as the French and British fought for control of the Ohio River Valley and expanded into a global war. Though the British eventually defeated the French with reinforcements from Pitt, the Treaty of Paris angered American Indians by ceding land and colonial soldiers by poor treatment. This contributed to growing colonial unrest and resistance to British authority.
battle of Atlantic, battle of britain , battle of dunkirk
The document discusses three major World War 2 battles:
1) The Battle of the Atlantic involved German U-boats attacking British merchant ships transporting supplies across the Atlantic, so the British began convoying the ships with escorts.
2) The Battle of Britain took place from July-October 1940 as the Germans bombed British cities to weaken the Royal Air Force in preparation for an invasion.
3) The Battle of Dunkirk was the evacuation of over 300,000 Allied troops from the French port of Dunkirk back to England in May-June 1940 using naval vessels and civilian boats.
Gernika bombing!
The document summarizes the bombing of Guernica, Spain by German and Italian planes on April 26, 1937 during the Spanish Civil War. It describes the aircraft involved including Heinkel 111 bombers, Junkers 52 bombers, and fighter escorts. It estimates 45-50 planes dropped over 50,000 kg of bombs including incendiary and explosive bombs. The bombing destroyed the town within 2.5 hours. While death counts varied, it is now accepted that around 250 civilians were killed out of Guernica's population of 6,000. Pablo Picasso later memorialized the bombing in his famous painting "Guernica".
Day 1 Pp
After World War 2, Germany and Berlin were divided between the Western Allies and Soviet Union. Tensions rose as many East Germans fled to the West for greater economic opportunities. In 1961, East Germany erected the Berlin Wall to prevent further emigration, trapping its population. Over its 28-year history, the Wall killed over 200 people trying to cross into the West. Internal pressures in East Germany and the Soviet Union's abandonment of the Brezhnev Doctrine led to the Wall's fall in 1989 and German reunification in 1990.
Berlin Wall
The document summarizes the history of the Berlin Wall, including its construction in 1961 by East Germany to prevent emigration to West Berlin, details of its physical structure, and statistics on deaths that occurred from people trying to cross over. It then discusses internal and external pressures that led to the Wall's fall in 1989, including Gorbachev's policies of perestroika and glasnost that reduced Soviet control over satellite states. The document concludes with Germany being reunified in 1990.

This document provides a timeline of major events from 1980-1989. Some of the key events included Mt St Helens erupting in 1980, the assassination attempts on Pope John Paul II and President Reagan in 1981, Sandra Day O'Connor becoming the first female Supreme Court justice in 1981, and the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986. The Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and Exxon Valdez spilled millions of gallons of oil in Alaska.
Science
The document discusses the history and development of artificial hearts. It notes that artificial hearts were developed as a solution for patients waiting for donor hearts, with the first implant in a human being in 1982. The first recipient, Dr. Barney Clark, survived 112 days with the Jarvik-7 artificial heart but suffered complications and infections before ultimately passing away. The FDA later approved a few more implants of the Jarvik-7 which provided longer term support as a temporary solution until a donor heart could be transplanted.

Major events (1)
The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 to prevent East Germans from fleeing to West Berlin and was stretched over 100 miles. It separated West Berlin which was democratic from East Berlin which was communist, with the west side covered in graffiti while the east side remained plain. Over the years, many Germans risked escaping over or under the wall, with most being young people, until it was opened in 1989 when the border between west and east Germany was officially opened, allowing reunification.
Inventions (1)
CD-ROMs were created in 1985 by Sony and Philips. They store large amounts of digital data, including software programs, video games, and multimedia applications. CD-ROM discs have the same physical structure as audio CDs, using a thin aluminum layer and polycarbonate plastic. Disposable cameras were meant for single-use and included installed film, making them convenient to carry for photography. Roller racers were scooter-like toys ridden by moving back and forth while holding handlebars. Pogo balls allowed jumping up and down on a platform attached to a ball in the middle.
The end of_the_cold_war
The Cold War between the US and USSR lasted from 1946 to 1991 and was characterized by political and economic competition between the communist and capitalist worlds. During the 1980s, the Soviet Union fought a war in Afghanistan and the US spent $2 trillion on nuclear forces to counter the Soviet submarine force. Submarines were not developed for strategic purposes until the work of John Holland and Simon Lake in the 1880s.
Types of sentences
The document discusses different types of sentences: simple sentences contain one independent clause, compound sentences contain at least two independent clauses joined with a coordinating conjunction, and complex sentences contain one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. It then provides examples of each sentence type and asks the reader to identify sentences from a passage as simple, compound, or complex. Finally, it asks the reader to construct their own examples of the different sentence types.

The number of AIDS cases rose steadily throughout 1982, mostly affecting the gay community. Reports from the CDC in December 1982 announced the first case of AIDS in a child who received a blood transfusion, and cases in infants born to IV drug users. In May 1983, the Department of Health and Human Services declared AIDS the top medical priority but finding effective treatments was expected to take years. By June 1989, over 106,000 AIDS cases had been reported in the US with 61,000 deaths, though treatments were improving and public acceptance of both the disease and homosexuality was increasing.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
