ANZAC Day
ANZAC Day is this Saturday.
If you and your family want to do something, as we can't attend a service this year, people round New Zealand are standing at their letter boxes at 5.55am to have a minute's silence to show respect for all those who went to war or were at all involved with the war effort.
It was not just the soldiers, but also nurses; ambulance drivers; doctors; cooks; uniform makers; radio operators and many more.
Can you think of any others?
What do you think soldiers were thinking?
How were they feeling?
Where do you think they wished they were?

ANZAC Day
This Saturday is ANZAC Day.
Normally we have a special ANZAC service at school.
This year is very unusual as all ANZAC services in New Zealand have been cancelled.
This does not mean that we need to forget all those people who did an amazing job to make sure that New Zealand was a safe place for us to all live in.
Talk with your family about what you already know. What can they tell you?
What do the letters in ANZAC stand for?
A

Helping around the house
Your job to do to help your bubble is to look inside and outside your home and pick up any rubbish and put it in the correct place.
World Earth Day
Wednesday is Earth Day. This day has been celebrated for 50 years.
This year our school wide inquiry is Kaitiakitangi or Guardianship.
We all have a part to play in looking after our Earth.
Can you name all the planets in our solar system?
As far as scientists know, Earth is the only planet with life as we know, on it.
As humans we have changed the Earth a lot. Now it is up to all of us to make sure that we do not do any more damage.
Think about how you could care at home, at school and in the community.

Designing a jumper
Imagine that you are a clothing designer and you are able to put whatever design or pattern on a jumper to wear in the cooler weather.
Use your colouring pencils to add detail. Here is an example.

Singular and pairs
Thinking about our body and clothing, some things are singular (only 1) and pairs (2).
For example a pair of trousers. A tee shirt. A pair of shoes. A head.
Sort these into pair or singular.
pants jumper legs gloves nose lips shoes ears togs eyes jacket socks dress arms nose slippers shorts scarf back knees rain coat jeans shirt skirt gumboots shoulders hands hat
The changing weather
Gosh the weather has really changed from the warm weather we have had.

What can you wear on your feet; head; hands; legs; body?
Draw one of each of these items.
