Integrated Inquiry Focus - The ANZACs

What is ANZAC? What is important to remember? How do we remember? Who do we remember?

To help explore these questions we will be completing a number of ANZAC related activities today. Our Reading, Writing, Word Work, Inquiry, Art, Baking will all be integrated into these activities.

HOW IT WORKS...

You will need to complete each of the activities listed below. You have the rest of the day.

Activities with the MAHI TAHI symbol need to be completed in a group.

All other activities will be completed independently.

At the end of the day all your learning will be displayed on a group ANZAC Collage (see below for examples)

Chalk Talk

This is a mahi tahi/group activity. Record all your group's thinking about the ANZACs. (Ideas, Knowledge, Questions, Connections etc)

You can complete this on a device (make a copy and share with your group members and move it to your INQUIRY folder) or you can complete a paper copy.
