Anzac poppies

For the past few weeks, we have been looking at World War One and what happened at Gallipoli. Today we read a lovely picture book called 'The Red Poppy' and talked about how the poppies were a bit of beauty and wonder in amongst the horror and death that was life in the trenches. We contrasted that to Jesus death on the cross....the wonder and the horror! A great link right after Easter.

We then looked at what a field of poppies looked like and how some artists had represented their different perspectives. We then used watercolours to paint our own interpretations of the poppies amongst the fields or trenches.

Here are a few of the final creations...
