Term 2 Week 1

This will be the week we finish our focus on Identity, before we transition into our new focus on sustainability and our Term Context of 'Whanaunatanga' from next week onwards. You will have an assessment this term, but more information on this topic will be presented when finalised and ready for you to understand.

Right now, due to the timeliness of the event, we will spend this last week learning about an event & situation central to Aotearoa NZ's wider identity: ANZAC Day. What is ANZAC Day? How do we celebrate or memorialise it? Is celebrate the right word? What does the event mean for the population? How did it become important to how NZ sees itself? You will be able to answer this questions by the end of the week.

Success Criteria: I can/have...

• I can identify the importance of ANZAC Day for Aotearoa New Zealand and the ways we memorialise the events surrounding Gallipoli.
• I can understand ANZAC Day's influence on how NZ thinks about war.
