ANZAC Poetry & Art

As part of our ANZAC unit we put ourselves in the shoes of the soldiers and their Whanau. Using words and sentences to describe what it was like we created Haiku poems using our knowledge of syllables.

We accompanied our poetry with imagery art usin silhouettes (art display above). 

Dying for freedom

Poppies representing loss

Dying, finding peace

Dying for our flag

Families torn apart

We will honour them

They gave up their lives 

And we still remember them

They glow in our hearts

We'll remember them

Those who died for us

Death falls upon us

Trapped having nowhere to go

War is not a choice
