ANZAC Play

ANZAC

Narrator: T’was a horrible fight, gunshots, screaming, shouting, alarms going off, sound of death surrounding all in one place. What's going on? What's going on!!!

Why... World War one of course!

Sergeant: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Captain Hannah: Leader, we've lost another

Leader: No, he’s just wounded, surely. We can’t afford to lose any more soldiers.

Nurse: He’s gone sorry.

Nurse: (sigh)  You can’t save everyone from the  war.

Sargent James:... (he’s now dead)

Narrator: As they all sat there in the hut in despair,

gunshots flying all over the place, they wondered if the war would ever end….

Later that month …

Leader: Captain, we’re  running out of soldiers. We really need to be careful and direct with the soldiers, that way we can still last the war.

Captain: I know we need to be steady, but they aren't fighting for no reason. They are brave soldiers!

Leader: I hope you’re right.

Nurse: Sorry to interrupt, but Captain your son has just been hit and …

Captain: (worried, anxious voice) And what? Is he ok? Have we run out of resources? Where is he?

Nurse: He’s in his hut. He’s trying to get some rest but he is in shock. I think it’s best if you just stay away for now, even I’m petrified!

Captain: When will I be able to see him?

Nurse: I'm afraid not until he has fully recovered.

Captain: That could be weeks months even!

Nurse: I’m sorry, but he can’t recover if people are popping in and out of his room. I promise I will take good care of him.

Captain: I believe you, good luck.

Narrator: As the nurse walked to the hut with the medicine and dressing for the wound, she wondered if the Captain's son Leroy would last until he could recover.

As she entered the room she noticed that he was writing in his journal and was covering another wound on his leg which was thoroughly bleeding. He was also holding an old press and a compass and the nurse wondered what he was doing.

Nurse: I’m here to dress your wounds, Leroy.

Leroy:... (silent, not responding to the nurse)

Nurse: Tell me where it hurts the most.

Narrator: Once again, the nurse was wondering if Leroy would survive.  Leroy was wondering what the nurse was thinking. When the nurse finished she walked out and returned the next morning…Leroy recovered over a month and a half after the nurse came in that morning and was soon able  to fight again.

6 and a half months later….

As the few living brave soldiers climbed up onto the huge but empty boat to return home, they all felt excited to get to their families. They were mindful however, for those who had been left behind. They would always be in their hearts. When they arrived home they were presented with gifts and those who had been lost were remembered as brave heroes. That's why we celebrate ANZAC day on the 25th of April in remembrance for those who fought for us even when it was hard.

Sir Peter Blake Biography

  Hi,this is the biography I have worked on for the past few weeks,we chose to write on him because he shows leadership and cares for the things he loves,feel welcome to comment and tell me if you learnt anything new today,enjoy!

World Famous Sailor, Adventurer, Environmentalist ,Leader!

Have you ever dreamt of sailing the world? Sir Peter Blake made that dream come true and died a hero! Sir Peter Blake started sailing at a young age when he was seven he sailed in his first race. Peter lived in Auckland and that's where he gained his love for the sea. Peter was born in 1948 and had 3 siblings their names are Janet Tony and Elizabeth. The family only owned one boat and it was a family boat but when Peter sailed his first race he had his own boat. He and his family lived in a wooden bungalow in Bays water.His father Brian was a Gunboat Captain in World War 2. Brian and Joyce Blake and their children grew up with the sea as their playground. Peter won the America’s cup twice in a row and won a couple of blue waters races. He also raced 1st Whit bread and that's when he was asked to join a crew with  Doug Hazard Red Feather. He did One Ton Cup races. He did the round North Island race when he was asked to join Doug Hazard Red Feather in his first offshore race.   He retired from sailing because the amount of pollution was increasing so he encouraged young sailors to respect the ocean and that's when he became an environmentalist. He said “I love what I see. I’ve spent so much time on the ocean I guess I’ve told that story a million times, but to be sailing around the world in our first round the world races when our boats got surrounded in the Southern Ocean by many large albatross,I mean it was extraordinary one week they were there another they were gone.I don’t think my children and their children will be able to see one.I think the world should know that we are part of the environment not out of it.”    Sir Peter Blake is important  to us not because he sailed the world or because he won races but because he cared for the ocean and the creatures in it and that's what I call a real hero!
