The 6th of August marked the 75th Anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. To commemorate the anniversary, Hobart City Council in conjunction with the Australia Japan Society (Tasmania) held a state-wide Haiku competition with the theme Imagine Peace. The competition was perfectly timed as Year 5/6 Blue had begun working on Haiku as part of their English learning.

Year 6 student, Lewis C, won 3rd prize in the Primary competition and represented Lindisfarne Primary School at the commemoration service attended by dignitaries and guests. Lewis’s Haiku, along with other entries, was digitally displayed on a large screen outside the venue.

No blood on the streets

No more soldiers to hide from

Our utopia

Lewis represented LPS extremely well at the service. Well done, Lewis!
