Before we started the Anzac topic we wrote down what we know and what we want t know. When we come to an end of our Anzac topic we then wrote what we know now. This is my one. :)

Anzacs and Us

What Do I Know?

Name Pippa Allsopp


What do I know about Anzac Day and the Anzacs?
What do I want to know?
What  I have learnt
I know that:
  • The poppy represents Anzac day.
  • We remember Anzac to honour those who died.
  • Anzac is about war.
  • New Zealand was involved
  • It was WWl
  • So many went to war because they wanted to help and give the country pride.
I want to know:
  • Why did the war start?
  • Why did NZ want to get involved?
  • Why did few Maori joined?
  • Why were no women allowed to fight?
I have learnt:
  • Gallipoli is were loads of ANZAC’s died.
  • Their is a place called ANZAC cove in honour of the ANZAC’s.
  • The women’s skin turned yellow because when they worked with the bombs all of the toxic air changed their skin colour.
  • The trench was split into loads of different parts.
  • In the trench the dangerous parts were spent the least time by individual soldiers.
  • There was also a war at the bottom of Turkey> ( The final line)
  • Lots of soldiers wrote diaries.  
  • Since they weren't allowed to tell the parents were they were based they would write it on the back of the stamp.
  • It cost the USA more than 10 million dollars when they fought WW1
  • The family would make codes with the soldiers so they could communicate freely.
  • There was a man they would go through all the letters with a black pen and cross out all the details that the soldiers were not allowed to share.
  • Few maori joined because they didn't believe in fighting to solve problems.
