We learnt about what ANZAC means (ask a Room 14 member if you aren't sure), we read the poem 'In Flanders Fields' and why we wear poppies. We even learnt that our school has a memorial wall in our school hall.
The best part about our ANZAC learning was living and working in the trenches... On Friday morning the classroom was dark and the tables were pushed together and covered in blankets. There was gunfire playing on the Activboard and then we found out we were learning in the trenches!!!
We did all our school work, ate morning tea and did buddy reading in the trenches... it was hard because they were low and we kept bumping our heads and they were really hot!
Then we had a walk around the school and saw the Field of Remembrance, the flagpole and the war memorial.
Have a look at the photos from our ANZAC learning!

| This is the Field of Remembrance for the soldiers who were from the Ashburton area who died in the war. |
