Zulu Wars





Charge!
"For Queen and country", we all yelled as we charged across the sun baked grass.
"Zulu, Zulu" screamed the Zulu warriors as they raced towards us, holding their zulu shields and spears. But it wasn't for real...we got to play soldiers and native warriors in our own playground. Alf's Army visited us and after we learn about The Battle of Rorkes Drift in 1879, we got to make spears, swords and our own shields. The army shields were decorated with lions and flags. The zulu shields looked really wild in animals prints, zebra and leopard.
Then the fun bit....out to the paddock and the battle commenced. Military nurses raced around reviving the fallen and dead, who managed to staggered to their feet and fight another fight!!
