The Importance of Animals Used in War

 For this week, we have been learning about ANZAC day - which includes the importance of animals used in war and learning about how people risk their lives for others. Since it is nearly ANZAC day, which is on Sunday 25 of April but the public holiday is on the 26, it is very important for us to know why we celebrate ANZAC day. 

We have read different texts and watched many videos about it. For our task we had to either create a newspaper article about the importance of animals used in war or create a thinglink or a prezi describing what it is like living in the trenches. I have decided to make a newspaper article about the importance of animals used in war. For my newspaper article I have used websites from my own research.

This is my newspaper article!

"Lest We Forget"

WALT: Think critically when looking at information in different texts.

For reading we have been focusing on ANZAC day, so for one of our reading activites were about ANZAC mascots so now it's about ANZAC memorials! And this is the second activity that I will be posting out of my eight activties. 

This activity is about creating a poster about the phrase "Lest We Forget." Just saying what it means and including pictures. If you don't know what it means it's just saying that we should at least remember what happened in the war, and what other people experienced and had to face during that war and that thousands of men that died had loved ones who would have been really upset to hear that they have passed away.

Different Ways To Celebrate ANZAC Day!

WALT: Think critically when looking at information in different texts. 

For the past weeks we have been learning about ANZAC day and for one of our activites we were learning about ANZAC mascots and know we are learning about ANZAC memorials! So we had to do eight activites which were all related to ANZAC day. So after we have done all of that we had to post two things on the blog so this is one of them which is: Different ways to Celebrate ANZAC day!

So I have came up with three different ideas to celebrate ANZAC day without gathering around because of the covid-19. So my ideas were: We can wear the red poppies, we can have a day where you wear red with your family and donate some red clothes that you don't fit anymore and give it to someone else, and a moment to think about our ANZACs which we can have a minute or so to think about the ANZACs who fought in the war for our country and some of them has loved ones so they would have been really upset. 

This is my slideshow!

Anzac Mascots

WALT: Think critically when looking at information in different texts. 

Over the past weeks our class has been focusing on war, including the anzac day. We have read different stories about it aswell. So for reading we usually just do our own group work but we are all focusing on one thing which is ANZAC mascots. I read a lot of things about anzac mascots and i've learnt a lot of information about them!

For one of our tasks we had to find our own information and link it to a google doc where everyone else's information are, i've already completed that task now I had to make a DLO (Digital Learning Object) about what I have learnt from ANZAC mascots! I haven't done the last task but i'm working on it and it was too create your own mascot for the war and explain how it will be useful and I will be posting that soon. 

I didn't really find anything difficult because the tasks are kinda of easy and they're also really fun to do and I can learn new stuff! I enjoyed making a DLO of what I learnt and I would enjoy making the mascots aswell.

This is my DLO!
