They are
the fallen ones, the ones who carried the lives of their men, country, and others
on their backs. The ones who left behind what they held dear to do what they
thought was their duty. They are the fallen ones; the Soldiers. And, we remember
them.
Yesterday,
Room 20 pursued their ancestral links all the way back to World War I,
discovering what it truly meant to serve your nation. We discussed what we knew
about Remembrance Day and learnt things we didn’t know, for example the
position of a horse’s legs on a statue is a symbol of how a person may have
died in battle. We learnt about the Unknown
Soldier and explored what significance he represented for our nation and
others. We also designed our own memorial garden considering the overall layout
and the types of plants, trees and other symbolic items to include. It was
great to learn about Remembrance Day and to also reflect on our lives today,
so, soldiers - we remember you.
