Today Robin, Mama and I went to the RSA building in Papatoetoe for Auckland Heritage Festival. When we got there we went inside and I did a dot-to-dot picture of a soldier. Then Robin and I were making some medals. We made the Pacific Star, the NZ Operational Service Medal and the 1914 - 15 Star.
Then we went and were looking at the exhibitions. I was really excited when I saw a diorama on the Battle of Crete. It was the Alied Forces, Greek soldiers and Crete civilians attacking the Nazis. Unfortunally the Nazis won because of a mis-communication between the Alied commanders.
Then I went to try on an American Army Helmet, a pair of army gloves and a RNZAF jacket ranked Corporal. I had fun wearing it.
Last we went to the Papatoetoe library and I got a really cool Captain America comic.
I had fun today.
