ANZAC Day

This week we have been learning about the meaning of ANZAC Day by reading stories about New Zealand and Australian soldiers in the first world war.  After reading one story about ANZAC biscuits Tim said, "I think we should make them." We organised some groups and everyone brought ingredients for making biscuits on Friday.  Good idea Tim.

We have also started to do some writing about war experiences based on our thinking about some war photographs.  We will publish these next week.

On Thursday we all took part in an ANZAC Remembrance Ceremony and two New Zealand Soldiers came from Burnham Army Camp.

Biscuit Day
On Friday we made ANZAC biscuits and then shared them with people at school.  They were very tasty.  Below are some pictures from our cooking and the ANZAC Ceremony.
