ANZAC Day celebrations

At school we made poppies which we then put onto some wreaths.
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.
