Commemorating Anzac Day

This week we completed our inquiry projects about the Anzacs by commemorating the fallen and the ones that sacrificed their lives in the war through art. We created silhouettes with clear file pockets, felt pens and black vivid.  

We also created poppy chains using a red coloured card by drawing poppies on it and cutting it with great precision keeping in mind the distance between each poppy. We created a chain of Anzac buntings as well on which we wrote the phrases- 'Lest we forget' and 'We will remember them'.

It was great fun. 

Here are some of the photos from our session on commemorating Anzac day through art.

Learning NZ Sign Language with Miss Amy

Miss Amy is our lovely social worker at our school and she knows how to sign. She came to our class to teach us how to sign many basic sentences and phrases. 

Did you know that sign language is one of the official languages of New Zealand. Here is a poster of the NZ sign language alphabet.
