We had the pleasure of a visit from a real hero last week when Mr Sparrow from Katikati came to speak to the school about his experiences in the NZ Navy.
We have been learning how to write a recount of an event we have been to. Sam and Amy wrote about our ANZAC assembly.
Here are their recounts.
ANZAC ASSEMBLY by Sam
On Friday morning we had an ANZAC service. We were up at the flagpole. We had it to remember the people who died in the war. Mr Sparrow was a soldier he went into a submarine and he went under the sea. We made red poppies in room 6 and we put them under the flagpole. I feel sad about the people who went to war and the people who died. The whole school sang the National Anthem after Mr Sparrow had talked. Every class put poppies under the flagpole then Reid raised the flag.
ANZAC SERVICE by Amy
On Friday at school we had an ANZAC service becuase that day is when we remember the people who went in the war, who dies and fought for our country. We put some poppies under the flag pole. I felt sad. In the war my Grandad almost died but he didn't so that was very good!! Mr Sparrow was a soldier and he talked about when he went to war and when he went in a submarine. After we all sang the National Anthem then Reid raised the flag.
