Hello, This is some of my writing that I did at school about The History of Springston School.
The History of Springston School
Springston School opened in 1868. There was one classroom with fourteen children and the land that the school was built on was by Mr James Gammack.
When the district wanted to build Springston school the community had to come up with one quarter of the cost. In the 1800s the school children had to use syrup buckets as their lunch boxes. The children got to choose when they wanted to go to school, but when they didn't go to school it was because they ether had to help on their farm or go to the market and sell their crops or animals.
In 1956 there was a new Springston school which we are in now. So the previous playground got sold for housing and then of course there was a new playground built after that they decided to build a 13,500 gallon pool!!!
In 2014 Springston School got four new classrooms. And now have iPads, BYOD and a lot more technology!
So now you know the history of Springston School. Springston School used to be a small school but now Springston School is bigger and the population of the school is growing each year.

ANZAC Day
ANZAC Day
Well on the 25th of april I went to the Leeston ANZAC service at 10:30am - 11:30am. First we had to walk down to the hall and when we got into the hall there were at least 2,000 people there. In the hall there were a few speeches and songs that we had to sing. After that we walked down the the statue thing that had all the names of the soliders that fought in the war and the ones that died from Leeston of course! And my Great Great Uncle George taiaroa was on their so we put a poppy in the box to remember and appreciate him then a couple of minutes later we found his cross and put a poppy in the ground by his cross!
And thats what i did on ANZAC Day.
