On the 9th of November Primary 7 went to the Heathhall\u00a0Aviation Museum. They went to the Aviation Museum to show their respects to the people that fought in the war for them. These people they remembered could of fought in World War 1 or 2 and also any kind of war or fight. They risked their lives for us so we had to remember them and show our respect for what they did for us ALL !!!<\/p>\n

When the Primary 7s arrived they were piped to the Memorial Gardens to lay the wreaths and to\u00a0do the 2 minute silence. Before they did the silence a man gave a little speech. Soon after\u00a0it had turned\u00a011o’clock. The reason they did the silence at 11 is because it is said that the war ended on the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour.\u00a0When the silence took place all of the people put their heads down and remembered about the people who\u00a0fought in the war, also loved ones who are having a hard time\u00a0or someone who has passed away and meant a lot to them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once the two minute silence had ended some of the community laid wreaths including the school. Our school had two pupils laying the wreath. These two people were Primary 7 and Primary 6\/7 pupil councillors.\u00a0These two pupils were Leah and Cameron. There was also a new bench that was put there by the Community Council. The Community Council raised money for the bench. This bench was no ordinary bench though. The bench was know as the “memorial bench”. Layton was chosen to cut the ribbons on the bench.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Next we went over to a hut to see the Spitfire. The Spitfire that was here was one of the last flying Spitfires in the world. It was really interesting learning about the Spitfire. The Spitfire captaincy team was especially excited to see the\u00a0plane of their house\u00a0standing in front\u00a0of them. We all really appreciated the extra time\u00a0that we got to go around the Aviation Museum and see some of the extra features.<\/p>\n

\"\"This is all of Heathhall\u00a0School’s primary 7s<\/p>\n

Last but not least we went to the RAF\u00a0Hut and learnt so much about the war. There was so much stuff on Wellington and Spitfire!!! There were some mannequins that seemed to be acting out\u00a0what it would be like inside one of the bombers and it looked really cool but also quite creepy as there were lots and lots of\u00a0extravagant sound effects!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Overall, the\u00a0Primary 7s had a very memorable day and really appreciated being part of this experience.<\/p>\n

Thanks You to the Aviation Museum and all of the adult helpers who made the trip possible !!<\/p>\n
