Lest We Forget.

Today we went to Assembly to listen about people who fought for us a 100 years ago today.  They were named the ANZAC soldiers. Mr Burt and Mrs Flavelle’s grandpas signed up to go to war in 1914. After that some people died and people lived. Mr Burt and Mrs Flavelle’s grandpas survived the war and they were war heroes.

In the war Mr Burt and Mrs Flavelle’s grandpas had to fight in mud because the trees and the ground got blown up. They used a duck board, it’s like planks of wood, so they wouldn't get muddy and dirty. Many people got injured when the war ended. There were many young people who were fighting for our country New Zealand.

When they came back from the war Mr Burts grandpa married Mr Burts Grandma. He did not have good clothes to get married in only his army uniform. That’s how they made Mr Burt's parents, and Mr Burt's parents made him. Mr Burt told the whole school about his grandpa and how he married his grandma. Today we put up the flag at half mast like every school in NZ.
