ANZAC Day Story Model
🎯 WALT (We Are Learning To)
We are learning to: Recognise features of a good story and understand why we remember ANZAC Day.
📖 Model Story: "The Red Poppy"
Every year on 25th April, Grandpa puts on his special medals. "Today is ANZAC Day," he tells me. We walk to the memorial in our town centre. Many people are there holding red poppies.
"Long ago, brave soldiers went far away to help others," Grandpa explains. "Some never came home. We remember them today." I see tears in his eyes. The bugle plays a sad, beautiful song.
I place my poppy by the stone wall. The names carved there tell stories of courage. "We will remember them," everyone says together. Grandpa squeezes my hand. I feel proud and sad at the same time.
