Our junior syndicate was very lucky yesterday - we had a special visitor. His name was Raiti Aperahama and he is a Lance Corporal in the Cadets.
In class we've been talking about ANZAC Day on Saturday and what it means to us in New Zealand, and we were very lucky to be able to talk to a cadet!
Being a Cadet is the step before going to the army to be a soldier and Miss Riley's grand-nephew has been a cadet for 3 years and goes to military school. She asked him to come and talk to us and show us his special uniform. He will be at the ANZAC Day parade and service this coming Saturday, the 25th of April, to celebrate 100 years since the soldiers landed on the beach in Gallipoli.
We heard all about what it takes to be a cadet and how he has to practice marching and be very healthy and do lots of exercise. He showed us how to turn around and march like a cadet and some people in room 6 were amazing at it! Dora, Frank and Jessica were the best!
Have a look at the videos below!
Keep your eyes peeled for more ANZAC Day posts over the next few days - we're having a special assembly tomorrow and we're writing letters to soldiers in the trenches on old looking paper!
