ANZAC Day

ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps. Poppies are an ANZAC tradition because the soldiers died in a poppy garden and fought in the poppies in Turkey. We made poppies to decorate the pod area for our ANZAC assembly. We listened to the Last Post and Reveille played by Mr Elliot. Our class hosted the Y2 assembly.  ANZAC cookies are also an ANZAC tradition.
We watched this clip on Youtube about our ANZAC heroes

  1. Dear Mrs Ryan and Grade 2's,

    On our ANZAC Day in our school we also had a assembly. During the assembly we listened to the last post, saw a slide show of photos from WWI and had a minute of silence.
    The whole school also sung our National Anthem.

    We are very interested in connecting with your blog. We would love to learn a few things about where you live in Singapore.

    What are you learning at school this week? Would you like to Skype with us?

    Miss Madden and J2M.
