Reading Our Common Histories

We really enjoyed getting mail from France!

We have been reading all of the hard work and research that the students at College de Meyssac had completed.

It showed us that both NZ and France shared very similar experiences of sending soldiers to fight and both countries suffering enormous casualties. However, New Zealand never had any fighting on our own soil and went over to help the British Empire she belonged to.

We have worked on some of our own projects since reading the ones we received from France and can't wait for them to receive our package!
