Last week, we learned about Anzac Day. We listened to stories and poems and reflected on the sacrifices made by so many. To bring our learning to life, we also created a beautiful poppy wreath, proudly displayed in our studio window.
Today, on Anzac Day, that learning became something even more special.
Early this morning, Zayieh and her family attended the Dawn Service in Cathedral Square, Christchurch. They laid our studio wreath at the war memorial. Seeing our work included in such a significant ceremony was incredibly powerful and something we will all remember.
A huge thank you to Zayieh and her family for suggesting this idea and for representing our class in such a meaningful way.
If you’d like to see this special moment, you can follow this link to watch the full service, or skip ahead to 1 hour and 14 minutes.
“We will not forget.”
This is amazing! The wreath looks great – special thanks to Zayieh and her family for doing that for us!
Zayieh felt so honoured laying it at the memorial and for it being on display for so many to see!
Kia ora Paptūānuku ,
What a special post! How wonderful that Zayleh and her family were able to attend the Dawn Service and lay your beautiful poppy wreath on the war memorial. It certainly will be a moment that you will always remember. Awesome too, that the moment was captured on video, for you all to see.
Ngā mihi, Kathy.
Thank you, Zayieh, for delivering these beautiful poppies!
