Anzac Art in Room One

New Zealanders died in many wars but lots died in the First World War and their dead bodies lay in a poppy field where the fighting took place at Gallipoli. So now we use a poppy as a symbol that we are remembering ALL the soldiers that fight to keep our country (and our friends countries) safe and free.

Remembering the Anzacs.

Anne showed us the World War 1 doll she made and explained about why soldiers needed to wear woollen clothes and had to wear a number. Try asking your child for the answers.

We had a look at the crosses outside Room One and saw the soldiers number and name. There is a cross at a school around New Zealand for every soldier that died in World War 1.
