With 2015 being the centenary of the landing of Australian Troops at Gallipoli, we are going to spend some time leading up to ANZAC Day learning about the importance of this event in Australia’s history. The first special learning opportunity we were lucky enough to take part in was investigating a “Memory Box” that Mrs Pascoe organised to visit from the Australian War Memorial.

It was full of real and replica uniforms, equipment and artefacts and we had a wonderful time donning the white cotton gloves and imagining what it might have been like for the men and women who had used and worn these items as part of their everyday life during wartime.

Take the time to look over the photos of our experience that day and if you would like to read more about what we investigated you can check it out here.
