**How are clouds form ?** All air contains water, but near the ground it is usually in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor. When warm air rises, it expands and cools. Cool air can't hold as much water vapor as warm air, so some of the vapor condenses onto tiny pieces of dust that are floating in the air and forms a tiny droplet around each dust particle. When billions of these droplets come together they become a visible cloud.

**Why are clouds white?** Clouds are white because they reflect the light of the sun. Light is made up of colors of the rainbow and when you add them all together you get white. The sun appears a yellow color because it sends out more yellow light than any other color. Clouds reflect all the colors the exact same amount so they look white.

Anzac Day is a special day both in New Zealand and Australia. Unfortunately the true history and significance of Anzac Day is becoming muddled and forgotten. Most kiwis can tell you that it has something to do with the First World War, New Zealand soldiers landing at Gallipoli, and poppies, but unfortunately many of the details have been lost along the way.

This article sheds some light on the true significance of Anzac Day, how it has evolved over time, and what traditions and rituals are still apparent today. This year, why not share a special part of New Zealand history with your children.

Anzac Day is recognised on April 25th every year, and is a day for New Zealanders and Australians to remember men and women who have served and lost their lives in war. The original Anzac Day observances were largely for servicemen and their families, but it quickly became a day for all New Zealanders and Australians to remember and commemorate men and women who had lost their lives.

The term ANZAC is an acronym for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and was first used in World War 1.

==**Why is Anzac Day celebrated on April 25th?** ==

Many people think April 25th is the day the ANZACS suffered great loss of life at Gallipoli, but the conflict and loss of life actually lasted several months. April 25th 1915 is in fact the day that New Zealand and Australian soldiers landed at Gallipoli as a part of the Allied Gallipoli Campaign – they were not evacuated until December of the same year.

Returned Servicemen were responsible for the very first Anzac Day on April 25th 1916 – the first anniversary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli. It was through their organisation and commitment that the day was officially recognised as a holy day by the government in 1922.

The large loss of life suffered at Gallipoli sparked the commemorative day, but over time Anzac Day has grown into a day where servicemen and women are remembered and honoured for fighting in wars right across the globe. While different cities and centres all have their own Anzac Day commemorations, there are many traditions and rituals which are standard throughout.

The Dawn Parade, or Dawn Service as it is sometimes called, is the most popular of the Anzac Day traditions. It begins with a parade by returned servicemen and women to the local war memorial, where they are met by family and other members of the community. Uniformed servicemen form a guard of honour around the memorial.

The short service starts with a drum roll, and includes the National Anthem, hymns, prayers and readings. The most universal reading is the Anzac dedication:

//At this hour, on this day, ANZAC received its baptism of fire and became one of the immortal names in history. We who are gathered here think of the comrades who went out with us to battle but did not return. We feel them still near us in spirit. We wish to be worthy of their great sacrifice. Let us, therefore, once again dedicate ourselves to the service of the ideals of which they died. As the dawn is even now about to pierce the night, so let the memory inspire us to work for the coming of the new light into the dark places of the world.//
