To start the term, the preschool children were invited to attend the ANZAC Commemoration Assembly that was held in the school hall. Before the assembly, we talked about when ANZAC Day is, why it is an important date in our culture and some of the symbols associated with ANZAC Day including poppies.
To support their learning, the children viewed some resources online. Please see the links below to revisit them at home if you would like.

They then made their own poppies to wear to the ANZAC Commemoration Assembly.
The Kangaroos and Koalas were incredibly respectful during the assembly and represented preschool so well.
Lest We Forget.
Cammy still talks about the special assembly several weeks later and how great it was to be a part of.
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy to hear this. We think it was something that was very valuable for our children to be part of.
