ANZAC Assembly

This will be taking place tomorrow morning, on the grass outside the library. Please ensure children arrive to school on time so that we can commence promptly. In class, we have been talking about why we commemorate ANZAC Day and some of the symbols and traditions associated with this occasion. A special mention to Mia who did some additional research at home! Here are some of our reflections:

We acknowledge ANZAC Day on the 25th of April every year. We have one minute silence if silence to show our respect for the soldiers that died at war. People wear poppies as a symbol of remembrance of the men that risked their lives for us. ~Mia

ANZAC Day is important to us because we remember soldiers who died fighting in Gallipoli in the first World War. We wear red poppies as a symbol of remembrance. ~Noel

We remember soldiers who died fighting in Gallipoli in the first World War. The soldiers fought for our country, bravely. It's a time when we reflect and remember. ~Kate

ANZAC Day is important to us because the soldiers fought for us. We still remember them, even if they died for their country. We have one minute silence on ANZAC Day. ~Parker
