Today when we arrived at school there was a very special surprise waiting for us. The Teachers had worked extremely hard to put a display together for us to commemorate the Anzacs and other soldiers who had fought and died for our country.
This term, our whole school topic is Aotearoa and for week 1 we are focussing on the Anzacs as it is the 100th anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli.
We will be discussing why people chose to go to war, what the conditions were like, why we commemorate our soldiers, and also reading some first hand accounts of what life was like for the soldiers and other army personel.

Looked like a fun day for the children. A topic we must not forget. Well done to all involved. Wish I was there to see it all. Thanks for posting the photos.
