Room 1 Celebrates ANZAC DAY 2015

Room 1 Celebrates ANZAC DAY 2015

Today was a very special day in Room 1. We celebrated ANZAC DAY. We started the day off with Charles (Arlo’s Grandad) showing us his Dads war medals and sword. We got to hold the medals and the sword (with Charles helping us as it was very heavy/big and sharp). Charles made us line up like soldiers and the Queen (Mrs Murray) had to “inspect” us as she walked passed. After Charles came to visit we talked about the soldiers crosses in particular Sgt R.C Travis. Mrs Murray talked about him and showed us a picture. We went and placed his cross in our remembrance garden. We then took a minute silence to remember the soldiers that died for us in the wars.

After lunch we got to try YUMMY ANZAC biscuits, MMMMMMM. We talked about why they are called ANZAC biscuits and how they were made. We then read the big book “Dawn Parade” Mrs Murray and Fairy Judy talked about what it is and what it means. We also listened to ‘The Last Post’ and it made us feel very sad. We got to make poppies using paper and popsicle sticks. Poppies are very important to us.

We had a great day. We will remember them.
