Anzac Weekend 2015

This year was the 100 year anniversary of the ANZAC forces landing at Gallipoli. The kids and teachers at MPPS put a lot of time and effort into a moving and thoughtful ceremony on Friday 24/4/15. Each child had made a poppy which they laid on the stage before they sat down. Charlie and her friend, Anastasia read their poem they had written.

ANZAC DAY POEM

The sun raised from the ground
And 1000 men marched on
Crawling around the trenches,
Trying to feel courage grow in their hearts.
Fighting for their lives.
Battling for their countries.
Many died, many survived.
Looking for the answer to make the battle end.
100 years later we still remember them.

At the end of school we packed up with ten other families and headed down to Anglesea to the Coastal Forest Lodge, (cabin type accommodation with a rope park, bush walks, fire pit, basketball court etc.) The weather was average... a bit cold and wet... but the 25 kids ranging from 3-12 didn't care. We roasted marshmallows, went on a 7km walk along the cliff tops, pony riding.

The tradition of bread making continues.
