My ANZAC PROJECT

The activity I enjoyed the most was making the poppy because I learnt that poppies have five petals instead of four.

I also learnt that women worked in munitions factories, in the women’s land army (farming), as railway guards and ticket collectors, bus and tram conductors, postal workers, police, fire fighters, bank tellers and clerks, as engineers and also worked as nurses during the war.

An interesting fact I learnt was that slugs were useful because they could detect mustard gas.

The thing I am proudest on my homework is the poppy that I created.

My Anzac Project

My grandma gave me heaps of information about all of my relatives in the war.

My great grandfather, Cyril Brownlie, was a senior athletics champion and also the high jump champion with a record leap of 5ft 4inches. He was also senior handball champion and won a gold medal.

The thing I am proudest of about my project is I learned that five of my relatives went to war and three returned.                                                                                                                                           By Henry Stewart

My Anzac Project

To make my project, first I made a flag on the computer. I think we need to change our NZ flag because it looks just like the Australia’s flag. My favourite activity on my project was making a poppy because we had to be creative trying to make one.

I learned that the soldiers used animals during the war. I also learned that soldiers had to stay away from their families for four years solid and I learned that woman had jobs during the war as well. I am really happy about my Anzac project because of the colourful colours that I used. I think it looks fantastic.     Jasmin Tattle

My Anzac Project

I liked writing about my Grandad who went to war because I learned more about my family history.

When people signed up to be in the war some of them were 16 and not 18 and over. You had to be very fit or you were not qualified to go overseas. When solders were at war they did not have any thing private expect a box that had all their stuff in it and that box was called a Diddy box. 

I loved knitting my poppies because I loved the idea of learning how to knit with my Nan and I learned that it takes patience to make a poppy.

Lauryn's Family Treasures...

While researching for my ANZAC project I found my great great grandfather won 4 medals in World War 1. He got a bullet in his helmet. He survived but had a concussion. The entry hole is small and the exit is huge!

Easter Bunny visits Rm I and their buddies from Rm B

In their homework Rm I wrote clues for a treasure hunt. Then we worked together to create it so our buddies in Rm B could solve it. We had a lot of fun together!
