ANZAC

Today Mrs Beyer-Reiger visited our class to show us her army gear. Maggie got all dressed up including holding the teddy bear (that Mrs Beyer-Reiger said actually belonged to Mr Beyer-Reiger!) Maggie said the uniform was really hot and she didn't know how they could wear it all day. Then Pad-Thai got to wear the gas mask. She said it felt really tight around her face.
Mrs Beyer-Reiger explained that the army today is busy peace keeping and helping in other places like Vanuatu after the cyclone. She also showed us how they slept in trenches and cooked their food. It was really interesting to learn all about it from someone who served in the army!
