ANZAC KidsEdChat

Today a group of Room 20 children took part in the ANZAC Kidsedchat. The tweets came through really quickly - 668 of them in one hour -  and the kids were amazing at keeping track of the questions and conversations.

Below are some of the fantastic answers our students contributed to the following questions:

Q1. How does your country/school/family celebrate ANZAC Day?
Q2. What does ANZAC day mean to you personally?
Q3. Do you have any extended family that fought in Gallipoli? What stories can you tell us?
Q4. Do you have any extended family that have fought in any other conflicts?
Q5. Do you think ANZAC day is important? Should we celebrate the day? How else could ANZAC Day be celebrated?
Q6. During Gallipoli, Australia and NZ fought side by side. Do you think the relationship between the 2 countries is important?
Q7. Why are poppies sold before and on Anzac Day? Why was the poppy chosen and what does it represent?

Q8. How did the Anzac biscuit originate? Do you have a favourite Anzac biscuit recipe that you would like to share?
Q9. Have you ever been to an ANZAC Day celebration? What happened and how did it make you feel?
