ANZAC: ANZAC Poem | Emil

Among The Poppy Fields

On the day

I was sent away

Everyone shed a tear

For death was coming near

Bullets flying

As I am crying

For I miss home

And my little brother Rome

The food is revolting

I feel like bolting

Away from this horrid place

Without any trace

If I don’t survive

And they don’t know what we did

Remind my family

That I am hid

Among the poppy fields

ANZAC Biscuits

This week we've been doing ANZAC activities and one of those activities was making ANZAC biscuits. We made the biscuits because we'll be going on a walk on Friday down to Dixon House where we are going to give the biscuits to the elderly people who live there. If you would like to make some ANZAC biscuits yourself then the recipe's below.

ANZAC: Comic Strip | Emil

This week we've been doing ANZAC activities and one of them is to create a comic strip about all the unwelcome visitors the men had to deal with in the trenches. I've created a comic strip about a rat. 

Enjoy! 

ANZAC: Animals At War | Emil

This week we've been doing just ANZAC activities and, part of all these activities is having to answer questions about different aspects of WW1. The one aspect I've done here is Animals At War which is all about the animals that were sent to war.

Dear Diary

Today is the 27th of March 1896.

I’m extremely worried about my dad not coming home.
I haven’t been told much, but I overheard my mum talking
to one of our friends about an explosion that happened in
the mine my dad works at. I did hear an extremely loud
boom yesterday in the morning and wondered what it was.
I saw Mr O’Flynn flee out of his classroom at our school
when the boom happened and then all the children from
his class 5 minutes afterwards.

I hope dad’s alright and that nothing happened to anyone
in the mine. What if dad died and we won’t have anymore
money for food and clothes? I think I’m just overwhelmed
with my dad not coming home. Our house just feels empty
that my dad hasn't come home and my mum looks a lot
more sad than I’ve ever seen her. I don’t want to ask
what’s wrong because I’m afraid that will make her even
more sad.

I think I also overheard my mum talking about a funeral
not too far in the future and to be honest, that really
doesn't help with everything I’ve already heard. Everyone
that I’ve seen seems very depressed since that day I
heard that ear splitting boom. Maybe it was just someone
being stupid and set something off that made that
boom, however I don’t think anything could have made a
boom that loud.

I  just hope that everything is alright and everyone is ok.
Maybe that funeral my mum was talking about was just
someone that has passed away recently in the
neighborhood that she new.
