What are we learning about today?

Today we have Mrs. Mayhead, and she is teaching us about Anzac Day!
ANZAC stands for Australian New Zealand Army Corps, and Anzac day is a special day for Australia and New Zealand, to remember and honour those who were killed or injured or served well for our countries in the war.
Some ways we remember:
* Bake Anzac biscuits
* Go to a dawn service
*Wear a red poppy over your heart
* Study war/ Anzac day
* Listen to stories about it
Anzac day is on the 25th of April.
Many people get up VERY early to go to the dawn service, which for Tauranga is usually held at the mount by the Rememberance Stone.
Or you just get up very early to watch it on television.
In many familys, people have Anzac biscuits. They are biscuits that were sent over to the men at war because they were healthy, low g.i, yummy and lasted a long time before going off.
They are very easy to make and are VERY delicious, but you might ned a toothpick to get the oats out of your teeth!
We are doing a lot of activities in class based around Anzac Day, and we are all looking forward to honouring the brave soldiers.

Bolly.
