On the last day of term, our school had a special assembly to think about ANZAC Day, which falls on 25th April, in our holidays. Some old soldiers from the RSA came to talk to us. Every class made a beautiful wreath. We made ours out of shiny green leaves, and it was laid by Ria and Prentice. We heard the Last Post and Reveille played on the bugle.
Payton and Isaiah-Rae's great-grandfather's photo and war medals were on the stage. Payton led the school in a haka, to honour the ANZACs and our special visitors. His photo was in the Daily Post.
Mrs Caudwell taught us about the first ANZACs, and the red poppies, which grow in France, where many soldiers died.
