ANZAC Day 2015

A few photos from our ANZAC Day and a sample of the poems and journal entries from the kids.
 
 
Anzac Day
Today I got up at 5.00am to go to the dawn service in Eden. I do not think it was too fancy for being the 100th Anniversary since the brave men and women from New Zealand and Australia fought.
It was a beautiful sun rise and all was silent during speeches, they made me think about wounds on soldiers and gun fire raining down upon the battalions of soldiers fighting for peace.  Thousands of men died this day 100 years ago.
They fell for us
They died for us
 They caused our freedom
ANZACS
Lest we forget
 
Oliver.

 

THE ANZAC'S


They fought for us
They died for us
We honour them with every breath
And every move
We are free because of them
We are safe because of them
Lest we forget

ANZAC

WE MUST GET BACK

All the ANZACs What must they think

When their boat is About to sink

We must stay afloat We must stay alive

We must get back to Our families and wives  

All the ANZACs What must they do

When all their enemies Are shooting at you

We must stay hidden We must stay alive

We must back to Our families and wives

All the ANZACs What must they do

When people are Falling from the flu

We must fight it off We must stay alive

We must get back to Our families and wives

All the ANZACs What must they feel

When they got set up For an unfair deal

We’re coming home We stayed alive

We will get back to Our families and wives!
