  • School Children
    Tairāwhiti’s Second World War memories 1: School children By 1940 patriotic activities in the Tairāwhiti area were in full swing, and children had been involved from the very beginning. The children of the Muriwai School got the ball rolling in October 1939 when they decided that they wanted to contribute to patriotic funds by growing potatoes for sale. In this they were supported by their School Committee, who decided to purchase the necessary seed and manure.1 Children sewed and knitted items such as scarves, mittens and balaclavas for the troops throughout the war years. While children at all schools could undertake these handcrafts, some activities were dependant on location. So it was only country children who would have been able to participate in the scheme proposed by Mrs Thompson of Puha whereby sheepfarmers would donate motherless lambs to be reared by school children. It was pointed out that many of these lambs were lost in the course of a Shearing shed, Waimata John Harold (Jack) Hollamby season, but that handfeeding would Collection Tairāwhiti Museum78-7 save them, and at the same time give the children an opportunity to share in the war effort.2 Country children were also able to participate in the collection of ergot, a fungus found in the seed heads of some grasses, which was urgently required in Britain for the manufacture of drugs.3 In November 1941 the Minister of Education issued a statement asking school children to collect all the ergot they can during December and January.4 1 The Gisborne Herald 4 October 1939 2
