Commemoration Day

It was Monday the 11th of March and it was during our third and fourth period we had to go to the front by the hall these visitors had come from the Navy and the Army for the SWS Mowewe, they were welcomed in by a Karanga from Whaea Maharata, and when they had been welcomed in they sat down and so did the rest of the students. Then Mr Fraser stood up to introduce himself and the school and then this Tu stood up to do a poem that I think he wrote after his poem then we did short song then they started to do a speech about the ship and about there loss after that we then did another song. The kids started to give the flower wreaths, to the army people for them to lay on the ship and some kids, also started to lower the flags.Then after that we had stand in silence for 1 minute while the orchestra was playing there beautiful music I thought it was pretty cool then the priest told the army people they could go have tea in the kitchen but before they left we said a prayer.

I enjoyed When the orchestra played the music it was beautiful music.

I learnt more about the the ship and how it went down.
