This week, Kakapo's contract had a definite ANZAC theme. Over the past few weeks we have been learning about war time and how that affected NZ and NZers.
Children got creative making their own poppies to put in their windows ready to Stand At Dawn on Saturday with the rest of NZ. We had poppies created out of shells, cupcake holders, origami, drawn, 3D poppies... it was amazing!
To help discuss the long term effects of the lockdown on NZ I asked children to plan a holiday anywhere in NZ. We discussed the importance of seeing our own country and putting money back into it also. We wrote information reports about the place we wanted to visit in NZ.
We had an ANZAC video to watch with comprehension questions. Time lines and decimals for maths. Plus lots of little tasks to help around the house as well.
Kakapo are ready to stand at dawn tomorrow in remembrance and acknowledgement of ANZAC day.
