ANZAC

We learnt about ANZAC day.

ANZAC stands for Australia, New Zealand Army Corps.

On ANZAC day we remember all the men and women who have fought and died for our country in wars.

As a class we made poppies - poppies are worn on ANZAC day because they were the first things to grow in Flanders Field after the great war (1914-1918)

We made a wreath using our poppies - people lay wreathes on war memorials to show their respect for those who fought in wars.

We read, 'My Grandad Marches on ANZAC Day' by Catriona Hoy & Benjamin Johnson.
This explained to us why people march on ANZAC Day and what it means to war veterans and their families.

Mrs Saunders-Tack and Mrs Clarkson came and helped us make ANZAC biscuits. They were yummy with some being very big!

Safekids

Safe Walking

Police Education Officer - Constable Brown - came to our school. She taught us how to cross the road safely using a crossing and how to do it safely when there is no crossing. She taught us this poem to help us remember...

Stop, look and listen
Before you cross the street.
Use your eyes, use your ears
Before you use your feet.

Constable Brown also taught us about sneaky driveways. Sometimes cars back out of driveways and don't see us walking on the footpath. You have to check the driveways as you walk along the footpath.
