We will discuss how certain songs boosted morale of soldiers.

Snapshots of some well used songs in WW1: Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag...It's a long way to Tipperary.

Commonly called "It's a Long Way to Tipperary", the original printed music calls it "It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary." It became popular among soldiers in the First World War and is remembered as a song of that war.

It's a long way to Tipperary,

It's a long way to go.

It's a long way to Tipperary

To the sweetest girl I know!

Goodbye, Piccadilly,

Farewell, Leicester Square!

It's a long long way to Tipperary,

But my heart's right there.

WWII: We'll meet again.

History/Geography (Mrs Moala):

We will dig deeper into the different battles and important locations of WW1. How do those locations look today? How did the war change the areas?

We will research the type of training completed by the men and women who work in the NZ Defence Forces. Create a drill and teach it to the rest of the class.
