G'day all and welcome back!
I hope you had a good relaxing break over the past two weeks. I don't know about you but I felt the time went by all too quickly! What did you do? Anyone go to the Easter Show? If you did, tell us what you saw and did there! Did you go to the ANZAC dawn service or parade on Saturday? Did you play two-up? Did anyone go away anywhere to visit friends or go sightseeing? If you have children, how did you keep them occupied during the break.
Have a look at Rosa's blog post on writing a recount and once you know what to do, write a recount of your holiday. Before you post it though, I want you to type it in a word document and email it to me! I'll correct it and then you can upload it to your blog straight from Word!
This morning we talked a little about Anzac Day. The following is a link to an excellent site which clearly explains all about ANZAC Day. It is a site for young children so the language used is not difficult. Have a look at all of it (there are 4 sections) and then answer the questions below in your blog. Try to use the answers to write a short report!
- When is ANZAC Day?
- What does ANZAC stand for?
- What are Australian soldiers called?
- Name a brave person from World War 1?
- What name did Simpson call his donkey?
- What does 'defend' mean?
- What do we do on ANZAC Day?
- What is the Ode?
- What words do we say in reply to the Ode? (Look at last words of the text)
- Why do we lay flowers and wreaths at the bottom of a war memorial?
Congratulations to all of you who are now qualified First Aiders! Well done!
Happy blogging!
