Week 1 Term 2
16 very lucky students were chosen to be part of SPSs 'Camp Gallipoli' last Friday night; a camp set up to commemorate the 100th Centenary of ANZAC day.
On Friday the 24th April the 16 students took part in lots of cool activities- they made their own poppies out of felt, they kept a 'soldier' diary throughout the camp, they ate hardtack and a traditional dinner from 1914, they played games like pick-up-sticks, jacks and marbles; and they also watched 'Gallipoli' the movie.
Then at 4 am on Saturday morning all the students along with Whaea Emma, Mrs McGarry and other parents and teachers, drove down to the Auckland Domain to take part in the official Dawn Service. It was a very special day and we all felt so very lucky to be part of such a special event in honor of all the soldiers who fought and died 100 years ago.
Big thank you to Whaea Emma for making the camp possible :)
