ANZAC Day

We have been learning about the significance of ANZAC Day. Room 25 has shown great respect, enthusiasm and interest in this topic.  

For one of our learning experiences we engaged in an interactive look at life in the trenches during World War 1.  

Following this we transformed Room 25 into a trench with sounds of war playing overhead. This was a confronting and eye opening experience for us all.  Our task was to write home to our families and friends from the perspective of soldiers in World War 1.  Enjoy some excerpts of our writing below! 

Kiara - 'I have no privacy to write my letter, my trench is small and I can't get a day alone'.

Sumaya - 'Shot! Shot! This is like a big storm'.

Kosha - 'There are people trying to fall asleep while the battle is going on'.

Essa - 'I hear machine guns shooting and a rat squealing in danger.  Boom!  A colossal bomb came down from a jumbo plane'.

Leila - 'I can hear gates slamming and lots of explosions.  I can hear donkey's - clip, clap, clip, clap'.

Cleo - 'My feet are cold and sore.  The trench is cold and muddy.  Slosh, slosh, BOOM...'
