ANZAC Week

Last week, our school commemorated ANZAC's 100th year of the Gallipoli landing in World War 1.

We went into our House Groups and did an Anzac activity. We made poppies from different materials, ANZAC cookies, soldiers, ANZAC jars, medals, drawings with splint pins, magnets, potato printing, wrote letters, music, periscope, marching and war activities on the computer.

We wrote little messages to the soldiers who went to World War 1 from New Zealand on the red discs. There were 59,000 discs altogether. Each disc represents a person who was killed or injured.

We went to the Domain with our buddy class, Room 27.

As a school, we went to the Domain to put down our discs for the world's largest "Giant Poppy".

The stones were from Anzac Cove. They were sent to New Zealand from Gallipoli.

As a class, we wrote a peace poem on "When you close your eyes and think of peace, what do you see?" Please visit our class to read these wonderful poems!
