The Army comes to school.


Steve Aydon came to our school to share what it is like to be in the army. He has been in the army for ten years. Steve showed us his army gear and told us information about the army. We were able to try on some of his uniform and put on his backpack. When his back pack is full, it weighs 10 kgs. His sleeping bag is warm, cosy and waterproof. Steve then placed us into 3 groups. Room 2 was Alpha, room 3 was Bravo and room 5 was Charlie. We did a range of exercises like they do in the army.
Working together was the skill that we learnt and how important this is in the army. We can use this idea in our class.
