Anzac memorial

25th of April is a very special day for New zealand and Australia because that was the day of Anzac and on the 24th of April was Poppy day. Poppy day and Anzac day is the day that the Soldiers from both countries went and fought for their countries and families. Did you know that people from the islands went too?, over 500 soldiers from the cook islands went.

Anzac stands for Australia. New zealand. Army. Corps. Anzac started in 1914 and went on for five years, It finished in 1919.

Ways people celebrate are by having a moment of silent or  having a memorial and at our school we had a memorial. we had a block of grass with 15 white crosses standing tall with names of soldiers from our area on it. Behind it is a Big Poppy with a soldier holding his dead friend in front. A memorial is like commemorating.

From this I am appreciative of the soldiers that have fought for us and it would have been emotional for the soldiers and their families at the time.

Butterfly life cycle

Stage 1 and 2

Do you ever wonder how butterfliesare made?

As  the sesame seed size egg lays on the outside of the leaf the mother lays hundreds of egg. The egg will turn from light green to light grey when its light grey it will be ready to Squirmin its way out of the egg. Once its out  it will eat the rest of the egg,the egg has vitamin C in it so it is healthy and Nutritious.

Stage 3 and 4

When the caterpillar has eaten the rest of the egg it will eat the milkweed leaves it would eat and eat.The caterpillar would shed its skin four to five times. When its time the Caterpillar would crawl over to a branch and find a comfortable spot and hang its selves upside down and turn itself into a cocoon shaped Chrysalis.

Stage 5 and 6

The caterpillar will take about three to four weeks to turn into a Chrysalis but when its ready to came out it will spread its wings. It will take the butterful butterfly about seven minutes four the blood to get into all of the blood vesels  and for the wing to grow bigger and stronger. In this stage of life the butterfly will fly off to find a mate and to start this life cycle all over again.
