Inquiry Topic - ANZAC Day

Today we started our new Inquiry topic which will run until the end of the term. We will be learning all about ANZAC day and why we commemorate and remember all those that fought or contributed in the wars and how it affected us as a country.
To begin with we brainstormed all the things we already know about this topic. Mrs Jackson was very impressed with Room 7's knowledge and depth of understanding! We followed up our brainstorm with a photo activity and a shared reading activity that fired up our thinking about what questions we have about this topic.
Throughout this topic we will be creating, editing and adding to a Word Wall of topic words. This Word Wall will be very helpful for us when we are writing about this topic.
