Anzac Biscuits

In Discovery we made Anzac biscuits.

• Anzac biscuits were first made in NZ in 1914.
• They were sometimes sent to men at war.
• The recipe has no eggs because eggs were hard to get during the war.
• The ingredients help to keep them fresh for longer.

Field of Remembrance

Field of Remembrance

Today we create our own field of remembrance to commemorate some of the soldiers from our area who fought in World War 1. The first step was for everyone to construct their own cross for a soldier or nurse. We are very proud of our crosses and how we worked together to create them.

How do we remember the Anzacs?

Here are the links you need for the investigation stations.

Today we are having a mini Easter discovery and creating marbled eggs and Easter baskets with Mrs Joyce. We were amazed at the marbling process and had a grest time selecting our colours and marbling our own eggs. Aren't they beautiful?!
