My reading
Summarise - Helping To Win The War
Page 1:
In page one the story is telling us about how their were getting ready for the war. In the war there were seven thousand soldiers fought in the 28th (Maori) Battalion during the second world war. The Battalion fought mainly in the middle East, North Africa, and Italy. In Aotearoa, Maori schoolchildren helped to raise money to buy a canteen truck for the Battalion.
Page 2:
In July 1941 at Tuparoa Native school on East Coast of the North Island. All Whanau in their Village were poor. These days Children's never wore shoes because their couldn't afford to buy some. Some children's had got their first shoes in 1950 when their were boarding school. It grave them blisters.

ANZAC-Day-Cloze
Anzac Day - Cloze Task
Most Anzac day services begin with a march of returned service personnel
wearing their medals, and marching behind banners and standards. The
veterans a joined by other community groups, including members
of the armed forces, the Red Cross, cadets etc.
The march continues to the local war memorial, where a service takes place.
This includes the laying of wreaths by various organisations and members of
the public. Flowers have traditionally been laid on graves and memorials in
memory of the soldiers. Laurel and rosemary are often used
in wreaths. Laurel are used by the ancient Romans as a symbol of honour
and was woven into a wreath to crown victors or the brave. Rosemary is used
for remembrance. The wreaths are laid to honour the people who have died
fighting for New Zealand.
The poppy has become the symbol of Anzac Day. The Flanders poppy as it is
now called grew in the trenches and craters of the war zone in Belgium and
at Gallipoli. These poppies grew wild in the spring. The soldiers thought of the
poppies as soldiers who had died . The poppy was made famous by Colonel
J.M. McCrae's poem made in Flanders' Fields. Poppies are sold on the days
before Anzac Day to raise money for the R.S.A. [Returned Services Association]
In most ceremonies of remembrance there a reading of a poem. This is
often "The Ode to the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon. It was first published in
the Times newspaper in 1914.
They shall not grow old as we that are left to grow old.
Age shall not wear them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning.
We will remember them.
The last post is the trumpet call sounded in army barracks at 10pm at 
night to mark the end of the day’s activities. It is also used at military
funerals and commemorative services to show that the soldier's day has
drawn to a final close.
This is usually followed by a period of silence for one or two minutes as a sign
of respect for those who have died. After observing the silence the flags are
raised from half-mast to the masthead. The Rouse is then played. The Rouse
called the soldier's spirits to arise and spiked for another day.
The Reveille is played at the dawn services instead of the Rouse. The Reveille is
played only as the first call in the morning. It woke the soldiers up at
dawn.
Often hymns were sung and speeches made. The important part of the ceremony
is to remember those who died.
This writing is about remember of the anzac.
