Ormond Primary School
Shrine of Remembrance Excursion
On Thursday 29 May, the Year 2 students enjoyed a day at the Shrine of Remembrance, where they were given a guided tour of the Shrine. They had a chance to try on army hats and uniforms, as well as participate in a scavenger hunt in the foregrounds of the shrine.
Here are a few comments from the students:
"A ray of light shines on the tomb stone ‘Greatest Love Hath no Man’
on the 11th of November at 11:00 on Remembrance Day."
Neve
"Nurses went to war to help the wounded. l wore a nurses uniform, it was white and red."
Liam
"The soldiers in World War 1 had to carry a heavy back pack with everything they needed." Elijah
"The Eternal Flame burns to remember all those who fought in the war."
George
"There was a statue of Simpson and his donkey. They helped to rescue wounded soldiers." Rihaan
