This morning we had a special assembly to remember the people that were in the World War 1. We were looking at some World War 1 photos of some army and the countries that were fighting in the war. Mr Burt and Mrs Flavell’s grandads were in the war, and we saw a photo of them with their army clothes on. Mr Burt told us to look at the big screen and we would see the NZ flag rising up the flagpole. When it got to the top it was going to be lowered to half way to show respect to the soldiers who died. There was bugle playing The Last Post. When assembly finished Mr Burt asked us to go back to our classes quietly.
I have been searching about World War 1 and I found these facts out.
