The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas

Welcome back to Term 3! For the first part of the term, we are studying The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas. 
This novel highlights the terrible incidents that happened in the concentration camp in World War 2.
Miss Hines wants us to be completely immersed in this topic, so today we came up with some rules that we thought might happen if we had German children and Jewish children at our school. What we didn't know is that Miss Hines was going to make us draw out of a hat whether we were going to become a Jewish child or a German child. We now have to wear either a German Flag or The Star of David on our shirts so we are easily identified. Instantly we thought that this wasn't fair, but we soon realised that being a Jewish person in World War 2 wouldn't have been fair either. We can't wait to learn more about this!

ANZAC Work

For the last half of the term Totara 2 has been working on an ANZAC topic using our multi-modal site ANZAC Site for literacy and topic. We have been reading, writing and watching videos to use information in our presentations.

These are all a work in progress but please feel free to comment on our work. 

Poppy, Orange Poppy, Red Poppy ... ANZAC
