is the truth I tell you:
of all things freedom’s most fine.
Never submit to live, my son,
in the bonds of slavery entwined.’

Seventh
Year Activities - Rome
The rise of Rome from an insignificant pastoral settlement to perhaps the world's most successful empire-supreme as a lawgiver and organizer, holding sway over virtually all the then-known world W of Persia, on which it left a permanent imprint of its material and cultural achievements-is one of the great epics of history. Whatever its fortunes throughout history, Rome has remained the symbol of European civilization.

Eighth
Year Activities - First World War
_____________________________________
The
First World War was the first war to be covered by official, press and amateur
photographers
The
Great War lasted for four years and caused the deaths of eight million men.
It saw the collapse of three empires – Germany, Austro-Hungary and Russia.
It devastated the regions on both the eastern and western fronts. It was the
first industrial war, with endless technological advances, mass production
and the general mobilisation of all human, economic and mechanical resources.
Its victims came from every nationality and from every background - from Europe
and North America, from the Commonwealth nations and colonised peoples in
India, Indochina and Africa. It happened everywhere, on the ground and underground,
on the water and under water, and in the air. It was fought using every possible
means, from cavalry charges to hand-to-hand trench warfare, from bombardments
to assault tanks, using gas or phosphorus. In this war, the warrior was reduced
to the dual role of servant and victim of the machine.
