ANZAC Day

ANZAC Day

ANZAC is short for Australia New Zealand Army Corp. On ANZAC day we commemorate the people who died defending our country in the wars. Many women and men were killed in the war in 1915 in Gallipoli.

We commemorate ANZAC by wearing a poppy. We can buy ANZAC biscuits to donate money for charities. The poppy is the first plant to grow where they fought in. We also commemorate ANZAC by showing respect by celebrating the Dawn ceremony.

ANZAC day normally starts with the Dawn ceremony that is usually held at your local war memorial. Dawn ceremony starts at 4.00 in the morning and last for a few hours. Dawn marks the time when the ANZACs landed in gallipoli on 25th March 1915 and holds a symbolism for darkness making way for new day.

  1. Mikayla I liked your work but when you said 'We can buy biscuits to donate for charities' I thought that it was a bit mixed up because you were talking about the poppy and then charities and then poppy again.
