Fun Facts
HOPSCOTCH History
Hopscotch began in ancient Britain during the early
Roman Empire. The original hopscotch courts were over
100 feet long and used for military training exercises.
Roman foot-soldiers ran the course in full armor and
field packs to improve their footwork, much the same
way modern football players run through rows of truck
tires today.
Roman children drew their own smaller courts in
imitation of the soldiers, added a scoring system and
"Hopscotch" spread throughout Europe. The word
"London" is often written at the top of hopscotch courts
to make the court reminiscent of the Great North Road,
a 400 mile Roman road from Glasgow to London
frequently used by the Roman military.Fun Facts The Schofield Tank On the 21st of August 1940 approval was given to build a mild-steel prototype of the Schofield tank in the General Motors plant at Petone. Named for its designer at the General Motors Plant, the Schofield tank was based on a commercial Chevrolet truck chassis and six- cylinder Chevrolet petrol engine. As can be seen in the accompanying picture the vehicle could run on either tracks, or at higher speeds over more even surfaces on rubber-tyred truck wheels. Armament consisted of a 2- inch quick firing anti-tank gun and a 7.92-millimetre BESA machine gun. Only the one prototype vehicle was built before earlier fears about New Zealand’s vulnerability to invasion were allayed by the entry of the United States into the war and the consequent availability of American equipment.

Fun Facts
The ANZAC Petone Flagpole
Petone’s Anzac Memorial Flagpole not only symbolises
the immediacy and intensity with which the Petone
railway workshops’ employees felt they needed to
commemorate the loss of colleagues killed at Gallipoli,
but its conception was a trans-
Tasman initiative designed to be
reminiscent, and honouring, of the
Anzac spirit.
It has been said that the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps
fighting on the beaches of Gallipoli cemented an enduring feeling of
“mateship” between the two nations, which is symbolised by the fact
the Petone flagpole is made from Australian hardwood and New
Zealand Kauri.
On 25 April 1916, the service in Petone was the first ever ANZAC
commemoration ceremony in New Zealand to be attended by the
Prime Minister and Government Ministers.• Poppy day – from Friday 16th April
