My Grandad Marches on Anzac Day – By Catriona Hoy & Benjamin Johnson
Another great read aloud – succinct words and beautiful illustrations, This book focuses on all the little details that make attending an Anzac day parade special… getting up early, driving in the dark, rugging up warm as it’s always cold, the sounds of the guns and hot chocolate afterwards…
Simpson & his Donkey – By Mark Greenwood & Franē Lessac
‘Anzac Day Parade’ is a current favourite of mine – aimed at the mid to upper primary level, the book contains minimal words that have been chosen to provide high impact and provoke deep thinking. The beautiful illustrations tell as much of the story as the words. A short but powerful read.
We stock a range of Anzac resources like the ones below in our store – click here to have a closer peek.
Thank-you SO MUCH for sharing your ANZAC Day Scavenger Hunt printable!!! I am writing from Mississauga, Canada where we are homeschooling our 3 boys (for a little over 1 year now; due to the pandemic…we are in our 3rd lockdown!). I’m Canadian and my husband is Australian – I am trying to include some Australian social studies in our homeschool learning. The different activity sheet is such a great idea – and I’m so pleased that all 3 boys will be able to participate (they are 4, 6 and 9 years old). I also downloaded your Kiwi Bird / Easter Egg resource – I’m sure we will use this soon; we have a few kiwi books and the boys are always so curious about animals. Anyways…this is a long note to say THANK-YOU!!!
Ohh my goodness – you’re so welcome! We’ve been watching the pandemic unfold from our little corner of the world and really feel for all you parents at home with young kids!! Please pass on a ‘G’day’ to your hubby – we love our neighbours over the ditch 😀 Thanks for popping by!
