ANZAC - Emblem - Vocab

Kia Ora, Malo, Talofa and many more greetings to you all. Welcome to my blog. Since, ANZAC has been past and TPS just serviced yesterday. The whole school has thought to work towards ANZAC history. In addition, Kia Manawanui has been working on ANZAC emblems and definitions to what each word means. Todays session, I found very challenging because I dont really know much about ANZAC and Poppies and it was a great experience learning about them. In the future, I want to focus more about ANZAC because, it was an AMAZING! history to the world. WHY? Because these were men who served in WAR! risking their lives saving our world between the argument of both countries! Although, I believe that, if governments are the ones who start the argument, than they need to learn how to step up and fight for themselves, instead of involving other men and women into situations like this.
Although, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM! LEST WE FORGET!
Thankyou! To those men who served in WAR! sacrificing their lives for us humans!

What I learn't about Poppies!

No Naia Nei, Ruma tekau kua ka aua atu te ra akoranga about papi. Although, during this lesson with Miss Kyla, I have learned to use a campass. As you know, some people may wonder or ask themselves “What is a compass?”, Well!  There is an answer to that question!  A compasses is an instrument used for navigation and orientation that shows direction relative to the geographic “Cardinal directions or “Points”. But, usally a diagram called a compass rose that shows the direction of North, East, South, West.

What do you know about poppies? Ok, let me be honest, but as I here the question (What do you know about poppies? ) all that appears in my head first is the answer “25th of April”, this is the day ANZAC is celebrated on. People that are reading this are probably thinking to themselves, “Is this all she knows”, well I don’t just know this! I have learn’t more about it and i’m sure you can learn from me too. Here are some fantastic facts I have learned:

Did you know that poppies are Yellow and Orange in colour aswell? Some poppies are coloured as Red, Yellow, Orange and also other colours. Poppies are considered a symbol of both sleep and death.  During WW1, the poppies disappeared because of the trampling and bombing of the battlefields. One of the most popular poppie fields are named Flanders Field.

And many more facts….

Poppie Photos:

E kore rātou e kaumātuatia

Pēnei i a tātou kua mahue nei

E kore hoki rātou e ngoikore

Ahakoa pehea i  ngā āhuatanga o te wā

I te hekenga atu o te rā

Tae noa ki te aranga mai i te ata

Ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou

Ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou

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.

We will remember them.

Kia Ora! Thankyou! My shares brings blessing to you all!
