ANZAC Soldiers Voices

We are learning about the ANZAC soldiers who fought in World War 1. We have created posters (on the computers), Morphs (on the ipads). We have found some information on a sight called Online cenotaph. We have researched many interesting facts about the soldiers including their birth date, death date, rank in the war, surname, relationship status, how they died, age at death, where they died, parents, cemetery name, plot number and how many medals they received. We researched and made some very powerful connections to men and women who came from Hawkes Bay. We discovered how important ANZAC day is to commemorate these brave soldiers.

We made the morphs by choosing a photo, framing the head, shaping the eyes, nose, and mouth. Then we recorded ourselves introducing and sharing interesting facts about these soldiers.

Our Pepeha

What is a pepeha? 

A pepeha is a way of introducing yourself in Te Reo to others and telling them about who you are, where you come from, where you are now and who is in your family.

We wrote a pepeha with some help from Mrs Dale and then drew kowhaiwhai  pattern borders. Lastly we recorded our pepeha using the ipads.  We spent quiet a long time practicing how to say all the words and clearly using our voices.

Room 13 really enjoyed doing this activity and we think we have learnt some new Te Reo skills and a better understanding of what people are saying when they share their pepeha.
