African animals

Today Mrs J.T Came in room 9 and she talked about animals My favourite part was when I saw the Leopard. It was on a tree the class learnt a lot of stuff about animals. I found out that their are two other animals that looks like a Crocodile an Alligator and a Caiman. I thought that was amazing. The other thing Mrs J. Taylor said that a giraffe got killed by another giraffe by getting kicked to the head that was awful. Another thing she told us is that at night time they sleep at an amazing house and there are guards watching if other animals come and try to destroy something. Mrs Taylor got to hold little kids from Africa. It was fun looking at the pictures at the end there was a picture of her and other people.

Zoo trip

On 7th may 2015 the school went to the Auckland Zoo accept the year 7&8. We got to the Zoo by a bus. First we got to see the tigers one tiger was in the house he was walking around I was surprised because it was the first time I saw a tiger. We had to write information about the animal in our booklet. Then we go to see an ostrich and a wallaby I was not sure if it was a kangaroo. After we went to see the parrots we had to go into a cage one group at a time and you have to close the first door then open the other door that is how you get pass. The parrots were shouting really loud. Everyone was tired we had morning tea for 20 minutes. After that we had to go and see the other animals we got to see a tarantula I was freaked out it was my first time seeing a spider. After I started running to see the other animal. The next animal was a siamang there were 2 siamangs one siamang was climbing and the other one was shouting. I got a bit bored and we moved to the other animal it was tigers the zoo keeper said that they like different smells. After we went to see the elephant I learnt a lot about elephant They can cool themselves by flapping their ears. The elephant's name is Burma. The Auckland Zoo is going to get a new elephant it’s name is Angelica. After we went to see the ostrich I saw saw the ostrich poop it was funny. Finally we get to do something fun we got to try the meerkat tunel. We had to go one group at a time We got a closer look at the meerkats. It was fun because we had to crawl and it was kind of like a maze Also we got to climb ladders. When I made it to the end I was really tired. After everyone had a turn we went back. IT WAS A GREAT DAY!!!

ANZACs and Us

Most Anzac day services begin with a march of returned service personnel wearing shiny medals, and marching behind banners and standards. The veterans  march joined by other community groups, including members of the armed forces, the Red Cross, cadets etc.

The march continues to the local war memorial, where a service takes place. This includes the laying of wreaths from various organisations and members of the public. Flowers have traditionally been laid on graves and memorials in memory of the dead. Laurel and rosemary are often Used in wreaths. Laurel was used by the ancient Romans as a symbol of honour and was woven into a wreath to crown victors or the brave. Rosemary is used for remembrance. The wreaths are laid to honour the people who have died fighting for New Zealand.

The poppy has become the symbol of Anzac Day. The Flanders poppy as it is sometimes called grew in the trenches and craters of the war zone in Belgium and at Gallipoli. These poppies grew wild in the spring. The soldiers thought of the poppies as soldiers who had died. The poppy was made famous by Colonel J.M. McCrae's poem called In Flanders' Fields. Poppies are sold on the days before Anzac Day to raise money for the R.S.A. [Returned Services Association]

In most ceremonies of remembrance there is a reading of a poem. This is often "The Ode to the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon. It was first published in the Times    newspaper in 1914.

They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning.

We will remember them.

The last post was the trumpet call sounded in army barracks at 10pm at night to mark the end of the days activities. It is also used at military funerals and commemorative services to show that the soldier's day has drawn to a final close.

This is usually followed by a period of silence for one or two minutes as a sign of respect for those who have died. After observing the silence the flags are raised from half-mast to the masthead. The Rouse is then played. The Rouse called the soldier's spirits to arise and awaken for another day.

The Reveille is played at the dawn services instead of the Rouse. The Reveille is played only at the first call in the ceremony. It woke the soldiers up at dawn.

Often hymns are sung and speeches made. The important part of the ceremony is to remember those who died.
