ANZAC Day 2023

ANZAC Day is the day that people in New Zealand and Australia remember the soldiers who went to war. ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps. In New Zealand we wear poppies. The red poppy is used as a symbol for remembering those who fought and died in World War One. In New Zealand we bake and eat Anzac biscuits. During World War 1, women from New Zealand and Australia used to send biscuits to the soldiers. We made Anzac biscuits and they were so yummy!

We measured out the ingredients and mixed it all together in a bowl.

Then we stirred it all together.

And last of all Mrs Hammond and Michele rolled the mixture into small balls. 

Then Mikayla helped to flatten the balls with a fork so they look more like biscuits.

Michele put the tray into the hot oven to bake. 

We had to wait about 10 minutes for them to cook. We were so excited to taste our biscuits!

Michele brought a very, very old German war helmet to school for us to look at and try on.

And we did some "Anzac Art" with Mrs Brydon.

Happy Easter from Te Pihi!

What do you think would make a good Easter Bunny? Can you hop like a bunny? Can you deliver the Easter eggs without eating them? Are you good at finding hiding spots? Do you like eating carrots? If you answered yes to all of the questions, then maybe you'd make a good Easter bunny!

Kyle wore his bunny suit to school.

We filled out an Easter Bunny application form. 

We made Easter baskets using coloured card and we filled them with shredded paper. 

 

We got to try paper shredding ourselves with Mrs Windlebourne's paper shredder.

And then we filled our Easter baskets with some chocolate eggs! 

Happy Easter from everyone in Te Pihi!
