Bonjour tout le monde! Mars était un mois très occupé pour moi! Ma évaluation de l'histoire était dû cette mois, donc plus de mon temps était dépensé travaillé à fini ça.

In History, our internal was to ‘Research an historical event/place of significance to New Zealanders, using primary and secondary sources’, and my topic was, of course, the First World War. I chose to focus my inquiry on a topic that I could use also for my Young Ambassador personal inquiry, so I researched ‘Soldier’s lives...

Hello, we are a group at Saint Dominic’s Catholic College in Auckland, New Zealand and we are excited to learn more about the women’s roles in the war. We are constantly learning new facts as we progress further ahead. We are very committed and are working hard on this topic. We are all looking forward to working with our French school and sharing information. We have realised that the women’s roles in the war were just as important as the men’s as they had to take the men’s jobs and earn money...

   Bonjour à tous!

Je suis très heureux d'être un jeune ambassadeur de Nouvelle-Zélande. Au cours des prochains mois, je concentrerai mon travail sur un domaine important.

To what extent has the perception of New Zealand War efforts during World War One evolved over time the last hundred years?

I will particularly focus on recognition (In terms of acknowledgement and appreciation) shown towards soldiers in New Zealand...

Bonjour à tous!

Voici mon premier blog. Je ne sais pas vraiment quoi écrire, mais je commençais par dire je m’appelle Caitlin et je suis une étudiante du secondaire. Je ne peux pas attends pour le voyage de les jeunes ambassadeurs a France. I wanted to begin my first post with a bit of French just to get into the habit and I may make some of these posts with the majority in French.

In this first post I wanted to talk briefly on what I plan to achieve and create with the inquiry project we...
