Rainy Day Art

The heavy rain on Tuesday seemed a perfect day to complete our resist pictures. Let's hope it's rainbows from now on. 

ANZAC Books

Reuben's book- Jim's Letters

Thank you to Alex and Reuben who brought books in from home to share. We enjoyed reading them together even though they brought a tear to our eyes. 

Manawatu Garden Festival

Enviro Kids Charlotte and Ella created a piece of garden art for the competition. Unfortunately they missed the time deadline and didn't get to display their art. However it was very cute and you can check it out below!

The coach house

When we arrived at the coach house we sat down on chairs and talked about Anzac. Then we did a quiz. After we did what we wanted it was fun looking at the cool Anzac displays. Sadley we had to leave. But now  I knew that all of that information for later on in my life.

COACH HOUSE MUSEUM

On Friday Room H went to the Coach House Museum and we got to see the huge Anzac Day display there. We saw horses, uniforms, Rolls of Honour, crosses and lots of other things. A man called Mr Linklater told us all about Turkey and where the soldiers landed and also lots of stuff about WWI.  I found it very interesting.                                                            Tom   

Fitness with Denis

Today we saw Denis doing some stretches in his tank and the funny thing is we've been doing them too. That shows that not only we do fitness but animals do too.  Isn't that cool.

Great-great Granddad's Uniform

My Great-great Granddad was in World War I and sadly he didn’t make it back home. His jacket was one of a kind and they don’t make them any more but lucky me I have my Great-great Granddad’s jacket. When my Granddad was in the trenches I heard that it was very sad at the front line. My Granddad had to plant bombs and plan

counter-attacks on the enemy. His canteen (drink bottle) also has a lot of moth holes. His helmet is so heavy it’s like you’re lifting weights. It’s also got bullet hole dents in it.

A Present from the Past

Rm I have been reading ANZAC books. One of Mrs Palmer's favourites is 'A Present from the Past' by Jennifer Beck. Illustrated by Lindy Fisher. Ms Ellis had an amazing treasure to enhance the reading of it this year! An actual, real, box given out by Princess Mary in 1914. It is a very special treasure and we enjoyed being allowed to admire it.

Steve places the wreath...

Steve and James, as the eldest and youngest pupils at MSS, were given the honour of placing the ANZAC wreath during assembly. They were very nervous but did a beautiful job. You made us very proud Steve!

MSS ANZAC Assembly

On Friday 24 April MSS school held an ANZAC assembly. It started with each class going to our ANZAC remembrance field and reflecting for a minute. We then went to the hall. The leaders had organised and written the script. There were special visitors invited from the army and Mr Nolan who played The Last Post on the bugle. It was a special assembly and we behaved perfectly. Well done MSS!
