Powerful Pikachu remember the sacrifices of our soldiers on Anzac Day

The Powerful Pikachu are learning about Anzac day and why it is important to commemorate this occasion each year. This year marked the 100th Anniversary of the Gallipoli landing.

Each student has been doing some research about Anzac Day and World War 1 in particular.

Check out some of the things we have been doing:

The Powerful Phoenixes reading group created some information posters as part of their literacy assignment. They first needed to do some research using books and the internet. Then they drafted information and designs in their books before publishing on Comic-Life on the computers.



Payton's information posters


Atoa and Tyson's information poster


Sonia and Sophie's information posters



We also created a reef for our school Anzac assembly ceremony



Photos to come of our awesome tea and coffee stained letters from the trenches of Gallipoli.

We are really interested in discovering more information about Anzac day and the world wars over the next two weeks.

HOME LEARNING LINK: every week I will add a home learning link. House points will be awarded to those children that complete the tasks.

  • write a paragraph describing how your family commemorate Anzac day 
  • Research what countries were the major powers during World War 1
  • Create a poem about Anzac day or the war- get your family members to help you.
Welcome to week 2!
