Anzac Day Poems
We all were lucky enough to have the local author Allie Paiva-Toledo, writer of “Wearing the Poppy”, come to talk to us about the process leading up to her writing her book.
We were so inspired we all wrote poems in response to all we learned from her. Brayden’s poem was so good it was read at assembly, published in Newsletter 10 and has been seen and asked for by the Pukekohe and Waiuku RSA’s for inclusion in their displays remembering the ANZACs’
Honourable men trudging up the hill.
On a dreadful mission sent.
Now silent white crosses in a field,
our countries heroes spent.
Our country’s safe, thanks to them.
How will we them repay?
Remembering who, fought with courage,
every ANZAC day.
By Brayden Walker.
