The Field of Remembrance

Last week on April the 24th we had a field of remembrance. A field of remembrance is where we have a little performance where lots of people speak. We sat down in a line and waited for it to start. First Cullen spoke about Anzac and then read out an Anzac poem. Then the head girl of kapiti college spoke and then the head boy of Paraparaumu spoke. The a RSA veteran from the 2nd world war spoke about the war and things he remembered. Then Ngapera got up and said " eh tu " we stood up and did a waiata. Then we had a minute of silence to remember the soldiers that lost their lives fighting for our freedom that we have now. After the other guest speakers the bagpipe player played amazing grace. Then we stood up and walked round to where the crosses were. We each grabbed a poppy and laid it down beside a cross while we remembered the soldiers. 

Here is a photo of the wreath that Ross Church and the RSA soldier placed by the flag pole. 

Egg sitting - Keeping Ourselves Safe

Last Friday our syndicate got eggs to look after.

I decided to name my egg Bert. I stuffed him in his cube/home and put him in my bag. That night I made a bed for Bert and wrapped him in bubble wrap. The next day my egg went to horse riding and to my best friends house for a sleepover. I think that Bert loved staying at my friends house for the night. The next day it was Monday and I had to bring Bert back to school for the teacher to see. I did not crack my egg but some people did. I think that I am very responsible for an egg. Later that day Bert decided that he would love a turn at sky diving so I let him fly of the fence and he cracked open on the ground. That was the very sad end of Bert the wonderful egg! 

Here is a beautiful photo of him!!
