| ANZAC Day is linked to the landing of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers at Gallipoli in Turkey in 1915. It was first celebrated in 1916 with memorial services and in the the early 1920s became a national holiday in Australia and New Zealand. |
Tomorrow is ANZAC day and many people will be attending Dawn Parades and memorial services all over NZ and in other places in the world. In Room 26 we made Poppies for our classroom wall display as an introduction to our Unit Study on ANZAC day.
Did You Know? The red poppy is a symbol of war remembrance. People wear the poppy to remember those who died in war or who still serve. The red poppies are also a symbol of the poppies that grew on Flanders Field, a battlefield in France during World War I.
An instructional video on how to make these awesome poppies will be posted soon!
i've got to admit i thought it was going to be a little boring but it was a lot of fun and very creative
