CheetahZoom breaks his arm

                    CheetahZoom breaks his arm

       CheetahZoom broke his arm by falling in gymnastic class. If you're wondering, "how did he break his arm?", I'll tell you. When he broke his arm he was already on the fast track. You're probably wondering, "what is a fast track?" A fast track is like a trampoline but flat, bouncy and is like a runway. So his coach told him to do a jump into dive roll but he jumped twice and landed with his whole weight on his arms. It's lucky that he didn't break both of his arms. He got a radial head fracture.

The attack on Pearl Harbor 2

                                  The attack on Pearl Harbor


The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Territory, on the morning of December 7, 1941. The attack, also known as the Battle of Pearl Harbor, led to the United States' entry into World War II. The Japanese military leadership referred to the attack as the Hawaii Operation and Operation AI, and as Operation Z during its planning.

 Japan intended the attack as a preventive action to keep the U.S. Pacific Fleet from interfering with military actions they planned in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States. Over the next seven hours there were coordinated Japanese attacks on the U.S.-held Philippines, Guam and Wake Island and on the British Empire in Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

 The attack commenced at 7:48 a.m. Hawaiian Time (18:18 UTC).???.The base was attacked by 353Imperial Japanese  fighter planes, bombers and torpedo planes in two waves, launched from six aircraft carriers. All eight U.S. Navy battleships were damaged, with four sunk. All but the USS Arizona were later raised, and six were returned to service and went on to fight in the war. The Japanese also sank or damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship, and one minelayer. 188 U.S. aircraft were destroyed; 2,403 Americans were killed and 1,178 others were wounded.  Important base installations such as the power station, shipyard, maintenance, and fuel and torpedo storage facilities, as well as the submarine piers and headquarters building (also home of the intelligence section) were not attacked. Japanese losses were light: 29 aircraft and five midget submarines lost, and 64 servicemen killed. One Japanese
 sailor, Kazuo Sakamaki, was captured.

 The surprise attack came as a profound shock to the American people and led directly to the American entry into World War II in both the Pacific and European theaters. The following day, December 8, the United States declared war on Japan, and several days later, on December 11, Germany and Italy declared war on the U.S. The U.S. responded with a declaration of war against Germany and Italy. Domestic support for non-interventionism, which had been fading since the Fall of France in 1940, disappeared.

  There were numerous historical precedents for unannounced military action by Japan, but the lack of any formal warning, particularly while negotiations were still apparently ongoing, led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to proclaim December 7, 1941, "a date which will live in infamy". Because the attack happened without a declaration of war and without explicit warning, the attack on Pearl Harbor was later judged in the Tokyo Trials to be a war crime.

                           The Attack on Pearl Harbour

       It was a nice day at Pearl Harbour. The radar was registering a huge wave of warplanes. The U.S. thought that it was their own. But they weren't, they were Japanese bomber and torpedo planes. They were going to do a surprise attack on Pearl Harbour . The Japanese had 6 aircraft carriers, 2 battleships, 2 heavy cruisers, 1 light cruiser, 9 destroyers, 8 tankers, 23 fleet submarines, 5 midget submarines and 414 aircraft.

The surprise started at night. The Japanese were disappointed to see that the aircraft carrier, the USS Enterprise, was not there. The Japanese sunk 4 battleships, 188 aircraft, and 2 other ships. They damaged 4 more battleships, 3 cruisers, 159 aircraft, 3 destroyers, and 3 other ships. 2,403 Americans were killed and 1178 were wounded. The Japanese had a few losses as well. Four of their midget submarines were sunk, 1 midget submarine was grounded, and 29 aircraft were destroyed. 64 Japanese were killed and 1 of their sailors was captured.

           Hello my name is CheetahZoom. I'm a grade 5 student who is homeschooled. If you  are having problems in school you could try homeschooling. It's great, you don't have to get up so early in the morning. It helps with my school work because at school if I didn't finish my school work the teachers would make me stay inside for recess. Then it was even worse for me because I have ADHD and I couldn't concentrate.

                                          King Leonidas


          King Leonidas was a great king, but one day the Athenians
  called to the Spartans becausethe Persians wanted to burn
  their city to the ground but the  Spartans answered the
 Athenians calls so the Spartans got ready for battle.
 This is a sadstory because 300 and more  Spartans die,
              but the Persians losses werevengreaterthan10,000.
            The story is called the Battle of Thermopylae or  the last stand of the 300 Spartans.
           How the Spartans fight is that the Spartans line upand
         put their shields in front of themselves. Each shield
       overlaps one another and when the enemy forces into
       them, the Spartans in the back reinforce the front. That
       way they don’t move when the enemy moves back. The
       Spartans put their right hands out with their shields, and
       put their spears under or over your head. If you were in
       the second row, you would put your spear above the first
       row’s heads. If you were in the first row you would put
      your spear under your shield and when the enemy moved
      forward again, you would pull your spear back and thrust
       the spear forward. But if you lost your spear you would
       use your sword.
       A tragic end of the Spartans: the Persians came from
       behind and King Leonidas got killed by a Persian arrow.
      There was a big battle for Leonidas body. The Persian
       arrows killed the rest of them.
