In Week 1, Room 19 commemorated ANZAC Day and honoured those who had served or are serving our country. We took part in many activities which gave students the opportunity to talk about the importance of the ANZACs and the significant roles service men and women of our nations have now and had during the war.
Room 19 wrote ANZAC
poems with a focus on using figurative language. Students did a wonderful job
describing the sounds heard during the war in Gallipoli, through the use of
onomatopoeia, similes and metaphors.
We also joined our
buddy class to create an ANZAC soldier silhouette artwork. This was a wonderful
activity for Room 19 to guide their Year 1 and Year 2 buddies to use their fine
motor skills to tear coloured paper to create the background for the
silhouette. Miss Marinan and I were very proud of how well both classes worked
together.
We also created our
wreath for the ANZAC ceremony. Thank you very much to parents for bringing in
flowers. It turned out beautifully and it was all due to your kind donations.
Thank you to Sophie and Maddison for laying our wreath with our buddy class. You did a great job girls!
