Anzac Day - Why is it so special to New Zealanders?

In Room 1 we have been learning about the special place ANZAC day has in our lives 100 years on. 
We learnt that a lot of our great grandads and great grandmas watched as their fathers went away to a war on the other side of the world. many didn't come home again. Thank you to all our families that helped us uncover some wonderful family history.

We used the iconic symbol of Anzac Day a poppy to recreate a tribute to our soldiers. We learnt to add layers of paint to create depth and to add an outline to make an image bold.

Here are some examples of what we created... for more come into Room 1 for a viewing!
