We also had our Field of Rememberance, like all schools in New Zealand. The crosses had the names of soldiers from Lower Hutt who died in the war.
We had a ceremony where we put poppies onto the crosses and played the Last Post and said the Oath.
We also learnt about WW1 and saw all the things a soldier has to put in their pack - it was a lot and weighed about 50kilos.
We got to try on some of the gear.
