The 17th May saw Room 10 leave school early for the annual 2.5 hour trip south to the National Army Museum at Waiouru. This is part of our integrated Social Studies, Reading and Writing unit on Anzacs and Gallipoli.
We spent 5 hours at the Museum; where we took part in a tour of the exhibits, and learnt about the different wars New Zealand took part in, cooked Army rations and learnt about what being a Gallipoli Medic involved. As always these activities involved lots of fun as well as learning.
Thanks for taking care of us Mark and Erena.
