Please ask your parents first before watching this movie. It is graphic in places and it would be your parents choice to let you see it.

Harry's New statement: I still think the killing of the Jews was planned after WWI. Hitler started hating foreigners before the WWI and he joined a communist hating group after WWI.
Kristie's new statement: this week i thought about whether or not the holocaust was planned i think hitler planned to take over germany and create the perfect race but i do not think that he planned to massacre two out of every three jews.
Hayden's: I think that the holocaust was planned long before the start of WWII as Hitler believed that it was the Jews that made Germany lose WWI and he stated in a speech that if war broke out he would kill the jews.
Kendall's: I still think that the Holocaust was very unnecessary, but now I think that the Holocaust was planned from the start way before Hitler started it.
Matt's: I think that what Hitler has done was utterly atrocious and that if he could see what destruction he has made he might not of done what he has done.

Harry's Statement: I believe the Holocaust was thought of before the Nazi party even came to power.
Matt's statement: Adolf hitler made a statement which was later published into a book called 'Mein Kampf' or 'My Fight'.
Hayden and Elliot: The Holocaust was horrific and sucked because millions died. The population went from 9.5 million to 3.5 million.
Kristie's statement: I think the Holocaust was very horrible and that all those jews shouldn't have suffered because of their religion. Hitler committed a very horrible crime and was obsessed with the 'perfect race'.
Kendall: I think the Holocaust was very unnecessary and so many people died from it.

The Holocaust
Each reading group in our class is going to add to the blog as we explore the cause of the Holocaust. They will be asked to explain where they are in their thinking and some of their reasons.
Today's group is Kabuki.
Today we are learning about the Holocaust. Hitler copied the so called 'Master race' from Friedrich Nietzsche, who first suggested the idea.
If you are thinking about what caused the Holocaust? Nothing actually caused the Holocaust, it was a deliberate policy by the German government, personally conceived by order of Adolf Hitler. Hitler believed that the Jewish people were vermin, therefore they were a threat to superior humans [Germans].
The Nazis wanted to annihilate the entire the European Jewish community.
I think that what happened back then was wrong and disgusting and should never have happened. Even though Hitler believed this and he thought he was right, he was not. Hitler used propaganda even before he was in power and he was successful. He made people think his way.
I think that what happened back during the Holocaust was wrong and Hitler should of been good instead of bad.
I think Hitler used really good propaganda to influence the people to make them think his way, but this is wrong because he is lying to get his own way.
I think what Hitler did to these people was wrong because those people did nothing wrong to him.
This was put together by a reading group as their task to demonstrate their understanding so far.

Animation! Here it is!
As promised a wee while ago I have been looking into the students animations and have a few examples that I believe need posting here so that others can see what they are capable of. Who would have thought that not teaching them how to do something and allowing them to explore it themselves would have created some wonderful work. This one is using I Can Animate and has some humour that only 12yr and 13 yr olds can get away with! Enjoy!

Life in our room at the moment is full of Science Fair and fair testing.
The amount of work that the students are putting in is admirable and I commend the ones that are going that extra mile. Good luck with putting your boards together. I can't wait to see what your finished project will look like and your grasp on fair testing.
For the next four weeks in our Reading work, we are looking into the cause of the Holocaust and the recounts the survivors are able to share with us.
We are specifically looking at our reading skills and how we can learn more about our reading habits. This is going to require us to look into the skills we are needing to learn to gain more knowledge and apply what we already know.
We are reading 'Night' by Elie Wiesel and we will have some work related to it. He is a survivor of Auschwitz and as he was a teenager when he was there, we can make some connections to the text. This will also allow us to explore how to write essays and use the novel as a source of information.
