JD"s report on our ANZAC service

                                                    ANZAC SERVICE

In Hay Park School we had an ANZAC service  and we said the ode and it was like this.

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.

Then the councillors  put down the wreaths at  the flagpole. All classes did.After that we all stood  still and heard the trumpet play.Then we heard the last post. play.

ANZAC 2015

Field of Remembrance 

 The crosses outside our staffroom were our field of remembrance. Each cross had the name of a soldier from our area, Mt Roskill. We read the names and thought about how brave they were and how they wanted to protect what is precious to us all. 

We had a wonderful ANZAC ceremony as a whole school. We learned the  ode  and our class was proud to be able to join in with the senior school to say it clearly on the special day of remembering.
It was especially important for us this year because it was one hundred years since our soldiers went to Gallipoli. 

Its great to be a councillor because you can share all your ideas with the other councillors.Mrs  

Galloway  always runs the meeting. She tries hard to set things up. We always have a meeting on the second Monday.There are 12 councillors and two from each class.

Paris and I are the councillors for Morris class because we got the most votes. It feels good because we can share all our classes ideas that they thought of.  

Even if it is our first time being a councillor we are not shy, we are brave because we can believe in ourselves!

Mrs Galloway  always talks to us about Green tickets and prizes. She often  talks to us about   the numbers of the tickets because we are going to change the numbers you need for the prizes. It is very hard to win the prizes but  people will have tried hard to get to the high level. You have to have two or three people in your class to win 150 tickets and then you get to go on a trip with your friends.

  i feel happy and excited and proud of myself because I am Hay Park’s school councillor  I think it is a big responsibility
