Length: Here are some metric units of length:

Millimetres (mm) or centimetres (cm) are used more often when measuring the length of a small item.

Metres (m) or kilometres (km) can be used to measure longer lengths. The table above shows how metres and kilometres can also be expressed as a fraction or a decimal.

Quick quiz What kilometre distance are we allowed to go for exercise at the moment? How many metres must we stay from other people in shops or when out walking?

Today we are going to try adding and subtracting using different lengths.

World War I

How did it start?A hundred years might seem like a very long time ago, but it isn’t really. Your great-great grandparents were around then, and they would have lived through, and maybe even taken part in, this terrible conflict.

Lots of history books have been written on World War 1 facts and why it started. But it all boils down to the fact that Europe had split into two large families of countries. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the emperors and kings of six countries (Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Germany and Austria-Hungary) ruled most of Europe. These powerful rulers were rivals and suspicious of each other. The split into the following groups: The Allies — the British Empire, France, Belgium, Russia and later, the USA — were in one family. And the Central Powers of Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey were in the other. If a country in an alliance was attacked, the other members agreed that they would come to their aid. On 4 August 1914, Germany invaded Belgium, and so, standing by its promise to stick up for Belgium, Britain declared war on Germany. The world was at war…

Many other events also led to the start of WWI and you can find out more by watching this video link.

https://youtu.be/4dIA2pZ9d6I

This war was very different from conflicts of the past. For the first time, powerful new weapons and vehicles were used – at sea, on land and in the air – resulting in many people being killed or wounded. In Britain, you could sometimes hear what sounded like thunder coming across the English Channel from Europe. In fact, it was the huge boom of big guns, called artillery, being fired on the Western Front. 75% of all men who died in World War 1 were killed by artillery.

The largest battle of the World War 1 – the Battle of the Somme – is known as one of the bloodiest battles in history. It was fought by the French and British against the Germans on both sides of the River Somme in France, and lasted for more than five months. Over a million

men were killed or wounded, and it was the first time that a tank was used in combat.

How long did WWI last?

When the First World War began that summer, most people thought it would be over by Christmas. Many believed that Britain was so powerful it could win very quickly. In fact, the First World War lasted four terrible years, not four months.

Ireland and WWI

About 210,000 Irishmen served in the British forces during World War One. Since there was no conscription, about 140,000 of these joined during the war as volunteers. A volunteer is someone who does not have to do something but decide themselves that they would like to help. Some 35,000 Irish died. Irishmen enlisted for the war effort for a variety of reasons. Some, just like their fellows in other warring states, joined up for the perceived justice of the cause.

CHECKPOINT1. Why did WWI break out in Europe in 1914?2. Describe what part Ireland played in the war.

SESE: World War I Continued: Life in the Trenches:

By the winter of 1915, the opposing sides had both dug long ditches called trenches which faced each other, in some places just 30m apart! These lines of narrow trenches stretched from the Belgian coast to Switzerland, and were known as the Western Front. Over five million British soldiers spent time living in these muddy, miserable ditches, taking it in turns to be on the Front Line — the trench closest to the enemy.Day-to-day life there was smelly and grim. Every so often, soldiers on the Front Line would be instructed to leave their trench and venture into dangerous No Man’s Land (the area between the sides) to try to push back the enemy.

Hot History:Lice, dust, mud, rats and foul smells were all part of life in the trenches. One soldier reported, “Every time it rained the toilet overflowed. And the rats that went in there were as big as tomcats”.

German U-BoatsBritain and France depended on America and Canada for arms (weapons) and food. The Germans hoped to starve Britain and France into surrender and used submarines called U-boats to torpedo their supply ships. From February 1914, they began to attack all ships in the seas around Britain. The British liner Lusitania was sunk off Kinsale, County Cork in 1915. More than 1000 people were killed, 128 of whom were Americans. In April 1917, America declared war on Germany and prepared to send troops to Europe.

SESE: World War I

Women and the warDuring WWI (1914-1918), large numbers of women were recruited into jobs vacated by men who had gone to fight in the war. New jobs were also created as part of the war effort, for example in munitions factories.  The high demand for weapons resulted in the munitions factories becoming the largest single employer of women during 1918. Though there was initial resistance to hiring women for what was seen as ‘men’s work’, the introduction of conscription  in 1916 made the need for women workers urgent. Around this time, the government began coordinating the employment of women through campaigns and recruitment drives.This led to women working in areas of work that were formerly  reserved for men,  for example as railway guards and ticket collectors, buses and tram conductors, postal workers, police, firefighters and as bank ‘tellers’ and clerks. Some women also worked heavy or precision machinery in engineering, led cart horses on farms, and worked in the civil service and factories. However, they received lower wages for doing the same work, and thus began some of the earliest demands for equal pay.

Animals and the war

This brave Airedale terrier, called Jim, was trained to spot Zeppelins approaching the Kent coast.Both on the battlefield and back at home, some incredible creatures helped to transport soldiers and goods – and save lives.

Almost a million horses were involved in the war. Soldiers on horseback were known as the Cavalry and horses also pulled some of the gigantic guns, ambulances and supply wagons. Gas from horse droppings could even be used to power lamps!

British families gave their pet dogs to the army so they could carry messages in special tubes on their collars. Dogs were fast, difficult to shoot at, and they also caught rats! Pet pigeons were drafted in to carry messages over long distances, often carrying news from the Front Line back to Britain — Germans trained hawks to kill any carrier pigeons they saw. 

How did the war end?

World War I Ended With the Treaty of VersaillesJune 28, 1919Russia withdrew from the war in 1917 because a revolution was taking place at home. This meant that Germany could send all of its troops to the Western Front. The British and French feared that the enemy would advance towards Paris. However, the welcome arrival of American troops in France meant that extra attacks could be launched against the Germans. The Germans realised that they were losing the war and agreed to a ceasefire.

World War I (1914-1918) was finally over. This first global conflict had claimed from 9 million to 13 million lives and caused unprecedented damage. Germany had formally surrendered on November 11, 1918, and all nations had agreed to stop fighting while the terms of peace were negotiated. On June 28, 1919, Germany and the Allied Nations (including Britain, France, Italy and Russia) signed the Treaty of Versailles, formally ending the war. (Versailles is a city in France, 10 miles outside of Paris.)

Checkpoint: What changed for women during WWI? Do you agree that animals should have played a part in WWI?

Why/Why not? In your own words, how did the war eventually end?

SESE: Science – Paper AeroplanesLast week, On RTÉ’s Home School Hub- we saw how paper airplanes are made and how different models had different results. I want you to try make a paper airplane & then test it. You are going to test how long it stays in the air and make an observation on what happens. You can do this 4 times so that you can compare your results (findings). Then, try make a different model and do the same investigation looking to see how long it stays it the air and what it does.Try 3 models in total – this will give you a good study so you can compare which model was best!An example of your investigation might look like this:Airplane A:Trial: Time (in the air): Observation:1 3 seconds Nose dive2 5 seconds Good flight, turned right3 4 seconds Good landing4 9 seconds Glided and landed on the

sofa

Airplane B:

Trial: Time (in the air): Observation:1 7 seconds Good flight, hit the light2 7 seconds Good flight, turned left3 2 seconds Crashed into the TV4 48 minutes Smooth flight to London

I find paper aeroplanes really tricky to make but, thankfully, our good friend, Larry O Neill (Local property developer, architect, costume designer and Airplane Engineer) is on hand to give us some tips!!
