We have been learning more about why we have ANZAC day and how we celebrate the day. So many of the students in the class discovered that they have family links to the wars in some way or another and many students came to share these links in class. We saw some real war medals that Isaiah brought in with photographs of the soldiers who earned these medals. Many students shared photos and stories of their family members who fought or died in the wars and Dale showed us a photo of his mum when she visited Gallipoli and AZAC cove. These shared experiences made ANZAC day very real to us.
We were reading this book when we discovered a link to Clevedon School as one of the soldiers named in the book was a teacher who taught here in the early 1900s.
We also read some poems and other books.
Have a look in our writing blog for some of our own acrostic poems.
Here is the poppy garden that we have created to show that we will always remember our brave soldiers.
