Mr Blake and students at the Halifax memorial
On Saturday morning our students and staff took part in the Halifax ANZAC march and ceremony.
Following a week of learning about the ANZAC Spirit, this was a great opportunity for the students to be a part of a real commemoration. Through the week students read stories and investigated the values needed to be service men and women (especially those in WWI).
We made the original ANZAC biscuit, known as ‘hard tack’, and the modern version. Everyone agreed that the modern version is much better! We also tried some other wartime rations; billy tea and ‘bully beef’. Most had had tea but would struggle to drink it without sugar. The consensus of tinned corned beef was ok but not something they would want to eat every day.
The students found out about the Last Post, laying a wreath, the significance of poppies and rosemary and the correct ways to wear medals.
The end of the week saw us planning how we could be involved in the Halifax commemoration, and on the 25th, ANZAC Day, Mr Blake and students proudly attended the Halifax service.
