Visit from the Salvation Army

On Tuesday, we had a visit from Nolan and Leanne Hill who work with the Salvation Army.  They are based in the North East Valley.

Their message was that we need to think of OTHERS!  We can look after people who are less fortunate than us. 

They told us about the history of the Salvation Army.  They brought along some bonnets and clothes from the old days - some children got to put them on.  Lara in our class wore a very lovely bonnet!  In days gone by the people in the Salvation Army got a really hard time from others.  They liked to make a lot of noise playing musical instruments like tamborines and trumpets to bring attention to themselves - lots of people tried to stop them and threw tomatoes at them!  Oh no!
