Bonjour tout le monde. j'ai eu la chance à faire un discours à mon classe sur le sujet du voyage de Jeunes Ambassadeurs, et voila un vidéo de mon discours pour vous.

If reading through blog posts isn't your thing, then here is a video of my Young Ambassadors Tour speech that I was able to use for my English internal that give a day-to-day account of what we did on the trip back in July.

Young Ambassadors Tour Speech

Josh Hansen, one of the Young Ambassadors for Shared Histories, visited Baradene College and talked about his project and his trip to France and Belgium.

2014 marks the 150th birthday of New Zealand's oldest Army regiment, Queen Alexandra's Mounted Rifle.

To mark this milestone, the regiment which is based at Linton, paraded around The Square in Palmerston North on Saturday. 

Soldiers, riflemen on horseback and small tanks were all part of this spectacle which attracted many people from around the Manawatu, even on a day which was very drizzly and breezy! Governor General Sir Jerry Mateparae inspected the horses.

This event would entangle New Zealand and Sāmoa together and have a lasting impact on the cultures...

Students in Year 12 History created a timeline of important events in the First World War for New Zealand soldiers.

I guess now that I am home and rested I should update my blog!

First off I want to make a half apology for not updating whilst I was actually in France. I along with the rest of the Young Ambassadors was preoccupied with the wonderful sights and sensations that France and Belgium offered us.  I had an incredibly amazing time and really want to thank everyone who supported me in getting there! You are incredibly generous people and I would like to mention you here:
