Dear Edgerley friends and families,
ANZAC Memorial Week was a great week of remembrance,
discovery and appreciation of our brave soldiers. The Edgerley children were so keen to find pieces of information on the journey of the soldiers to
various military posts.
“Where is Turkey”, Angus curiously asked.
“We can find it on the map!”, Max answered.
“It starts with the TTT like my name!”, Toby added.
As we found Turkey on the map, we were all bewildered as to what
the soldiers had to endure to keep Australia and New Zealand safe.
Ms. Veltmeyer showed us how to make poppy flowers using craft
materials.
“Maybe they used poppy flowers because it does look pretty” Alyssa
commented.
“Yeah! They would look so brave if they wear them on their
uniform”, Lily added.
“They help us remember all the soldiers that didn’t come back to
their families”, Fletcher reflected.
“Their mummies and daddies must be sad”, Rocco said.
Our PAC ANZAC Memorial Walk was a great adventure. We went to the main reception to pick up the keys and met Mr. Tutt on the way.

We started our journey to discovery at the PAC Museum. We saw lots
of war memorabilia and even found the pin with Simpson and his donkey on it.
Great spotting!
We discovered that there were so many PAC boys that went to war
and were not lucky to come back to their families.
The best part was writing all our names on the visitors’ book and
wrote how great the museum was.
We also checked out the ANZAC Hall and the Memorial stone next to
the Chapel.
We had a moment of silence in remembrance of the soldiers and
shared more of our ideas.
“Maybe the soldiers really had to be so brave”, Bayley
shared.
“And they had to believe in themselves too”, Amaia added.
“We have to think of them lots”, Finn informed.
“And look after the stone and the Pine tree”, Caleb commented.
We finished the week on a high coming to school with our crazy
socks, watching a movie and cooking and eating yummy ANZAC biscuits.
Looking forward to a fun filled term 2.
Mrs Rocca and Ms Renee
