ANZAC

My class and I have been learning about Anzac. We've been learning about our ancestors who went to war and what the soldiers did for us. We also learned what the poppies mean. I think the whole idea of Anzac is to remember those who fought for our country. We should be very grateful for the men who were killed for our fredom.

ANZAC Day

On and around ANZAC Day you should wear a poppy as a sign of remembrance for those who fought
for our country.

The ANZAC service this year had a great turn out, the speeches were sad but made us remember and realize what it was like for all those soldgers who fought in war.

                                                                        what we know

it was the dead of night on the 24th of April 1915 the ANZACS were about to land ,but with no idea were they were going



                                                                 learnt
Today I know that the men stood in trenches for months. Since that day thousands of ANZACS died by shrapnel,bullets and disease.

My Anzac Grandad

Anzac stands for Australian New zealand Army Corps. My Great Granddad went to war and he survived. He was fighting for England and he got deaf from the noise and my Great Grandma was a nurse. My Great Great uncles were in war but the passed away their. We celebrate Anzac day for the people that fought for our country. If soldiers were prisoners in war, they weren't allowed to write bad things in their letters or the Germans wouldn't send it.

My thoughts on Anzac

                                               What I know
  It was a fight for freedom on the 25th of April people left there jobs to fight for there county. This was a cold frosty morning. They set off  to fight at Gallipoli. As the moon rose they hit the beach but they didn't realise that they docked the wrong beach. until they climbed the steep steep cliff and saw Turks sanding there waiting. Thousand of soldiers got shot but we will still remember them for their BRAVERY!!!! Ella

ANZAC V for Villers-Bretonneux (Bret-on-er)

Villers-Bretonneux is a small French village which the ANZACs saved during World War One.
A British General (who had won a Victoria Cross) said that the Australian attack was 'perhaps the greatest individual feat of the war.'

My thought on Anzac day

I think that it was a horrible time.They had hardly any good food, but on top of that they lived in muddy ,yuk trenches. And only a few yards away are people that were trying to kill them. And there were away from there family's for so long. And most of them were so so sick. I hope that nothing like that  ever happens again.

B for Bully Beef

For several days all ANZAC people could eat when they were at war was what they brought with them and Bully Beef. To fill people up before going to war people had to eat, some sugar,some tea and some very hard biscuits.

My Thoughts Of ANZAC

I'm glad I live today thanks to the brave ANZACs who went to war to protect NZ. We are lucky the war is over and their is peace and no battle fields. I am happy because ww3 isn't right now. If there was no ANZACs NZ may not be owned to New Zealanders and we may be slaves today. As well its good Hitler didn't take over world. Its good ww3 is not happening right now or we could be bombed any second and be killed but its not happing right now. Brayden

E for Enlistment

When Australia joined the war on the side of the British, many raced to the nearest army barracks to enlist.

My Thoughts On ANZAC

Know guns, cannons, soldiers and boats.
I learnt that real ANZAC biscuits were really hard, that the Turkish didn't want to fight the New Zealander's and the Turkish put up white flags.
Thoughts I think 100 years ago it would be really different to our time,  because we have colored  pictures, gadgets/ipods, computers and tv's.

ANZAC THOUGHTS

How would you like to be stuck in the same trench for months and months, eating bully beef a salty yuck food with hard biscuits, hearing bang, crash bang, all day long. Cannons, bombs, guns and dead bodies lay everywhere. Blood yelling and friends dying. Compared to our peaceful, loving, friendly life with real food, family, friends and School.

ANZACs and Us.

On Saturday most of the children got out of bed early, put their school uniforms on (even though it was Saturday) and came down to the Anzac Oval to take part in the Winton Anzac Service.
