On the 24th
of April our class walked down to the R.S.A and made Anzac biscuits for the
elderly. We took photos of people that were in the war and people that had died
in the war with their medals. We also took photos of the medals that some of
the soldiers were given. We learnt that the men in the war had to wear hard
hats that were made out of metal. There was also a poem about the soldiers that
had died in Flanders field. The poem that they
wrote was for the men that died in the war and now are in Flanders field. They
wore metal armor that protected there bodies. I wonder what it would be like to
kill somebody. The soldiers slept in trenches night by night and were very
uncomfortable. Later on a lady gave some Rosemary to every one in our class. The
Rosemary smelt like rose petals. Some people took photos of other people
wearing a metal hat. Some of the medals that were up on the wall belonged to
some of the old people that were at the R.S.A but they didn’t really like to
tell us about them. A man told us how the war started and how it finished it
was very interesting. Some of the people found there great grandfathers picture
up on the wall. I wonder what it would feel like to be in the war and to kill
people. I think it would be horrible! There was also a sign that said “At the
going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them”. The saying
reminded me of my grandad. I can’t wait to go again.
Hey Anahera,
ReplyDeleteVery nice story.I think it was nice that we took the Anzac biscuits we made to the R.S.A. The tour of the R.S.A we great and there was lots of learning. I found out more about my Grandad while I was at the R.S.A even though he wasn't in the war.
