ANZAC Day

We have been reading and learning about what it was like to be in the war, and how many different animals are war heroes because of their bravery and because of how they helped the soldiers. We also tried eating bully beef and crackers. We discovered that bully beef is actually another name for canned corned beef. We also discovered that canned corned beef was something you either liked or didn't. Some people thought it smelt and tasted like cat food (no we haven't tried cat food! We were using our imaginations). Others said it had no smell and was delicious. The soldiers ate cabin bread in the war because it is long lasting but we couldn't find any so ate crackers instead. We also ate ANZAC biscuits. These are also long lasting. Whānau back in New Zealand would bake ANZAC biscuits and send them to their father's and sons. 
Read the ANZAC diary entry and postcard Leyla wrote after reading her groups articles.
