ANZAC Day

April the 25th 2015, was the 100 year anniversary of the ANZAC's landing at Gallipoli, Turkey. Some of us didn't know much about ANZAC Day, so we did some reading and brainstormed what we learnt using padlet. 

After completing our research, we wanted to know more, so came up with these questions:

To commemorate this occasion, we held a special remembrance ceremony at school. It was very moving and really made us think about those people who went to war and their families.

We baked some ANZAC biscuits for maths and used our measurement and fraction skills. Our biscuits were pretty delicious! 

We also did some drama around what it would be like fighting a battle in the trenches. Here is some of the writing that Nathan and Ali created using booktracks. You will need headphones to listen to the soundtracks... be careful with the volume... some of the noises are quite loud!
