ANZAC DAY REFLECTION!

ANZAC Reflection

What:

This week, we have been learning more about the Great World War one. In McCahon class, we have been learning about the soldiers too. We have also have been learning about conscientious objectors and non-combatant work that early New Zealanders did as part of the WW1.

So What:

My class and I have been learning about this topic because pupils in our class have had family members which have been affected by this War. All around New Zealand, commemorative, solemn services are held to remember those who fought for NZ. The war started in 1915 and this year it is 2015. So we are coming up to a 100 year anniversary.

Now What:

Since this learning, I have started to think more deeply. Not just about the soldiers but their families which were going through a rough time of life. It has made me think about society and how the Soldiers fought for NZ!
