Welcome back!

Wow - term 2 has arrived! I hope everyone had a great holiday and recharged the batteries :) We have a really busy term coming up (what's new?) with some exciting things planned, including a special visitor and a trip!! But more on that later. As you know - next Saturday is ANZAC Day. We touched on the meaning and significance of ANZAC at the end of last term, and used it as an introduction to our Inquiry Island model. After watching a short you-tube clip about ANZAC, the children had some questions they wanted to know the answers to; * What does ANZAC stand for? * How did the soldiers die? * Why do we wear poppies on ANZAC Day? We will be revisiting these questions and our answers this week in the lead up to ANZAC Day. Maybe you could continue with the conversation at home (if you haven't done so already).
