This week, we have been researching and doing tasks about ANZAC day, World War 1 (WWI), and things related to it. ANZAC stands for Australia New Zealand Army Corps. We have been looking into the book called ANZAC Ted and the poem called Flanders Fields. Today, to remember ANZAC a little bit more, we searched up a person we chose from rows of white cross.
For the first days or so of this week, we boosted our learning of ANZAC with the story of ANZAC Ted. It’s a beautiful story of how a teddy bear was a mascot of New Zealand and came back in a torn appearance. I think this representation is really cool because if a teddy bear is torn on the outside, humans could have been torn on the inside.
Later on, we moved to the poem Flanders Fields, where the poppies grew. We had to read the poem fluently, and do lots of tasks related to that poem. Finally, we carried on the poppy theme, and had to write about poppies. The main points for our poppy writing were the colours and meanings of those poppies. After writing pure words, we turned the boring black and white text into a whole video with music, elements, and voiceovers.
Which poppy do you choose to wear in remembrance of the soldiers?
Kia ora Isa,
I really like how you have sythnesised the information. This means you have learnt something new, and turned that information into a new creation. Your video has lots of elements (audio, voice) to get your ideas across. Next time, make sure your text in your video stands out from the background. Some of the yellow text was hard to read. Keep up the great work Isa.
