1st - 17th September

Last week we found out various meaning of ‘break’. Now we know that you can break not only a leg or a glass but also a promise or the law. The meaning will be changed if we add ‘out’ to the verb. Then we have a phrasal verb which means ‘to begin something usually suddenly’. Our dictionaries illustrate the meaning with the sentence: “War broke out in 1939.”.

Our grandparents remember the 1st of September 1939 very well. They couldn’t start school because of the outbreak of the World War II. On the 17th of September Poland was attacked by another neighbouring country. To memorize these horrifying facts the special ceremony is held every year. On Friday, 17th, we gathered in the school hall where year six-graders and Mrs Morcinek, a history teacher, reminded us of the war events.
