Anzac day display


This week I had this gorgeous nearly ninety POW (who happens to be my father-in-law) come to speak to our senior children to tie in with this simple Anzac display. I used a huge NZ flag as a backdrop (which I had used for a previous display for the NZ Post Book Awards ) and had a display of Anzac books. Two of my Junior Librarians did the lettering ''Lest we Forget" and used doubled sided tape to attach to the flag.
On the whiteboard are black and white sketches that Ian did while a prisoner plus some photos and newspaper articles. He has had several chapters written about him in books so read from these plus showed the children some very personal and unique memorabilia from the war.
As you can imagine the children were captivated to hear of his exploits.
