The last 3 weeks we have been working on a 'Letter to a Fallen Soldier' and 'Lest we Forget' presentation. Both these learning areas have been exciting as Room 1 discoveries the many aspect of Gallipoli and how ANZAC's came about. This learning has involved Food Tech (Food related tot he ANZACs), School Journals - some of the articles e.g. Children at War, War Mascots, Underground Soldiers, Maori Battalion, Coggle.it, Online sites, writing about capturing some war moments and lots more!

Room 1 students have been given the challenge to record below their most interesting fact about ANZAC...enjoy our learning below.
I have learnt about lots of thing related to ANZAC like the food they ate and always ate it cold and they had rashions (I thought it was the chips but it is not) I also learnt about the sneaky tricks the ANZAC'S did.I also learnt how to write a letter to a fallen soldier's family.
ReplyDeleteWhat I found most interesting was how the ANZACs sneakily ecscaped using rigged guns, getting rid of there heavy artillery by exploding them no louder than a gun shot, and tying sacks to there feet so they couldn't be heard walking on the pier out to the ships
ReplyDeleteThe most interesting thing I learnt about ANZAC was probably the Gallipoli landing where the ANZAC soldiers landed 2 km North of the planned landing site. This was due to poor visibility and miscommunication. Instead of landing on a flat beach the ANZAC's were met by steep cliffs with deep ravines.
