ANZAC Poems

A couple of beautiful pieces of poetry from students in our class about ANZAC

Swiftly moving across the field Staying on guard, not being held
Running through the smoke and fog
Looking around for a people alike
Seeing nothing, not even a target walking through the smoke
He found a place with shelter and permanent peace.

By Angel


Family members marching towards the danger of war, making the ultimate sacrifice for their country and loved ones freedom. 
Gallipoli, the sounds of soldier’s guns roaring throughout the country.
Troops coming out of their trenches, running and screaming out their battle cries towards the enemy, as many soldiers fall, bleeding out.
Planes would be heard from a few miles away dropping bombs, costing many lives or injuries. Soldiers suffering throughout the hot steaming summer and freezing in the frosty winter.
Silence was hardly made.
They shall never grow old, as we are left to grow old, age shall not weary them, nor years will condemn them, at the going down of the sun, and in the morning. We will remember them.

ANZAC day prepearion

On Friday we went down to the RSA and helped with ANZAC day preparations. We had to make up the boxes that the poppies go in and then put the poppies in them. We had to add the pins to the poppies also. We then took the boxes and walked through town and delivered them to the local shops for them to sell between now and ANZAC Day. It was great to be able to help out in our community.

River Poem

Some great writing about the River by Malia.
River poem
Don't always blame the river
Silent waters flow through the level land
Crystally sparkles in the sunlight
Through the valleys and into the ocean
The pitter patter of the rain
Speeding up the flow
Enlarging the water amount
The river rapidly runs
Too much rain
Let the water into the ocean
As waves hit upon the sandy banks
There is a storm tonight

Don't always blame the river
