ANZAC Day Learning

ANZAC Day is on April 25th. 
It is a day we remember those who have fought or died in wars, in particular the 
Australian and New Zealand soldiers that fought at Gallipoli during the First World War.
This year all public ANZAC ceremonies are cancelled but there is lots of learning in these slides.
Have a look at the slides, see the videos, try the activities and talk about the slides with your family.
I really like the idea of decorating one of your windows at home with ANZAC decorations, 
then going for a walk around your neighbourhood to see if you can find others.
A nice way to remember them. Lest we forget.
