Whatever happened on ANZAC Day?
Hello everyone and welcome to Term 2 of 2018 (and my last Term 2 here at Waikowhai Primary)! This week ( cliché alert!) we have been learning information, reading books, and discussing ANZAC Day. The most exciting thing about ANZAC Day has been, for me at least, the library (which has been temporarily moved to the old Room 8 because of a roof collapse), getting what seems like a truckload of new books about the wars. We just wrote a "trench diary", which I haven't finished yet. This ANZAC Day is going to be the last really big one for 50 years at least, because it has been about 100 years since the war ended. On the 11 November, there will be a big event because it will actually be 100 years since the war ended. Quite a few lessons have been ANZAC focused. I actually didn't do much on ANZAC Day itself. I'm not sure what I did on the day, because I wasn't keeping the date. Something significant that happened locally, was the reopening of the Mt Roskill Borough
