Zoo trip recount
Zoo trip recount
On thursday Room 9 went to the zoo the first animals we saw were the tigers only one was awake and he kept going back and forth like a robot. Then we went to the aussie walk about I got to see kangaroos and this funny looking bird that tried to eat my zoo booklet my favourite animals were the monkeys they were kind of like humans except with a tail and lots of hair and they were playing tag. After that we saw the spiders they were hard to see because their habitat was dark. When we went to see the kiwis Mr Wong wanted us all to be quiet because he has never seen a kiwi at the zoo before and he didn’t see one this time either I was the only one to see a kiwi. The last thing we saw was the meerkats and we got to go through the meerkat tunnel it was dark and funny because Sylis was scaring everyone.

ANZAC's and Us
This is my anzac and me document I had to fill in all the words that were blanked out. I did this for my inquiry task.
ANZACs and Us
LI: Understand background information about ANZAC.
Most Anzac day
services start with a march of returned service personnel wearing their medals, and marching behind banners and standards. The veterans march joined by other community groups, including members of the armed forces, the Red Cross, cadets etc.

The march continues to the local war memorial, where a service takes place. This includes the laying of wreaths from various organisations and members of the public. Flowers have traditionally been laid on graves and memorials in memory of the dead. Laurel and rosemary are often put in wreaths. Laurel was used by the ancient Romans as a symbol of honour and was woven into a wreath to crown victors or the brave. Rosemary is used for remembrance. The wreaths are laid to honour the people who have died fighting for New Zealand.

The poppy has become the symbol of Anzac Day. The Flanders poppy as it is normally called grew in the trenches and craters of the war zone in Belgium and at Gallipoli. These poppies grew wild in the spring. The soldiers thought of the poppies as soldiers who had died. The poppy was made famous by Colonel J.M. McCrae's poem Poppies in Flanders' Fields. Poppies are sold on the day before Anzac Day to raise money for the R.S.A. [Returned Services Association]

In most ceremonies of remembrance there is a reading of a poem. This is often "The Ode to the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon. It was first published in the Times newspaper in 1914.
newspaper in 1914.
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
At the going dawn of the sun and in the morning.
We will remember them.
The last post of the trumpet call sounded in army barracks at 10pm at night to mark the end of the ANZAC activities. It is also played at military funerals and commemorative services to show that the soldier's day has drawn to a final close.

This is usually followed by a period of silence for one or two minutes as a sign of respect for those that have died. After observing the silence the flags are raised from half-mast to the masthead. The Rouse is then played. The Rouse called the soldier's spirits to arise and awaken for another day.

The Reveille is played at dawn services instead of the Rouse. The Reveille is played only at the first call in the ceremony. It woke the soldiers up at dawn.
Often hymns are sung and speeches made. The important part of the ceremony is to remember those who died.
