Today when school started all the class had to go to the front of the school because our school was doing a Anzac ceremony for the people that died in the war for use people. This ceremony was a very special thing to our school.
When we got down to the front of the school we were the first to go to the front of the school. We had to stand at the back because we were the oldest in the school then. It took a while to for the classes to get to the front of the school for the ceremony.
After the class have arrived I felt so hot because the sun was so hot then. When all the class arrived to the front thats when Mrs Elia started to talk about what we were going to do for the ceremony.
When it started we had to stand up and sing a song that was called he honore. After that finished we sat on the ground and listen to the man from army. His name Jeffrey. He was talking more about what happened in the war. When he finished that we were singing a song that they sing that was called for the fallen.
When that finished that was when the people put the cross on in the ground with the people names that died in the war. It was a time where all the kids in the school had to not talk because it was meant to be a silent time.
Next thing we did was listen to the last post. The last post is when they play the trumpet thing at the end of each ceremony. It was another time we had to be silent. It was kind of a cool song to listen to.
Last of all we went in to the hall to ask Mr Left Lieutenant Jeffrey. We had a long time asking questions to him about the army.
This is the poem we said:
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.
