Maria:

Yes, the slideshow will be used in the assembly because 'Last Post, Rouse, National Anthem, 3 hymns and the Reveille' are played in the background.  I am also putting together a 4 page website to write up about the brief history, advertising the BBQ event, the fund raising and the poems the group has suggested presented at the event.  I have incorporated Helen's poppy and music pieces suggestion.  The downside is the slideshow is about 1.3G and is too large to upload and so I have given description on how I put these pieces together.  I can put the slideshow and website on a USB stick and send it to the group.  Since the website is just 4 pages of text format it would not take too much trouble to just zip it up and upload it.  I have been documenting my work on padlet.com.  My oral presentation to the group about the idea of the website.  I wanted to create the PowerPoint slideshow presentation and put it out of the way first before I promised the website because I work and study and need to manage my time.  I have two week to create the website.  This will take me one day to create and find material to put on to it for advertising our community art project to the world...oops I mean community!  The local council can put a link to this site to advertise to community for the fundraising to be a success.  The events that we have discussed can be itemised and listed on the site to psych people in the community to attend the event.

I realise that an Oak tree

by Helen, so I have taken it off

my list of things to organise.

But, if you were looking for

alternative trees, I would

suggest the above trees

This letter looks great. I check

out the website you found and

an alternative to the Desert Pea.  Depending on what is easily available or allowable in WA.  Quarantine laws a quite strict across borders, this is just an alternative option.

South Australia Sturt's Desert Pea which look like a poppy.

Maria, I noted your email and have corrected this. Just double check I have this correctly listed. I hope I have this right now. I will check in tomorrow for anymore feedback. Maria, I did suggest planting a tree somewhere in the discussion and it go lost. But the two plants I thought of that resembled poppy are Sturt's Desert Pea and Bottle Brush to be planted as one of the activities on the days leading up to the event of the gathering. Planting a tree is good for the environment, it changes the landscape, adds colour and has a sense of aesthetics to an artist. Simply because an artist is able to paint beautiful plants and landscapes I think that this suitable for this project because it can be used to mark of the occasion and a plaque on a stone underneath the tree an be made. It took me awhile to find these plants. Art is a passion of mine and I see beauty in these choice of plants. It is 2.36am, I think it is time to wrap it up and go to bed. Good night; I check in tomorrow for anymore feedback.

Letters of reply to City of Stirling

and Scarborough Primary School from Scarborough RSL

# data[].attributes.body
Speech by The Hon. Liza Mary Harvey MLA, Minister for Police; Tourism; Road Safety; Women’s Interests. The electorate of Scarborough (Parliament of

Western Australia).

I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land and pay respect to the elders both past, present and future. We respect their memories and traditions, their culture and their contribution to this country (Miromaa ALTC).

Firstly, I would like to thank the Scarborough Primary School and the Scarborough RSL for inviting me to be a part of this community commemoration of the centenary of Australian and New Zealander troops landing at Anzac Cove on this day in 1915. As we are all aware, the particular battle that began on this day, 100 years ago, was one of the hardest and seemingly most hopeless of the allied campaign and so it is especially important that we stand here today, paying tribute to the men and the women who sacrificed so much so that we could retain our freedom and our way of life.

I would like to acknowledge and thank the children of Scarborough Primary School for all of their hard work over the past month and congratulate them on the way in which they have conducted themselves in their time spent researching Anzac Day and the history of our local RSL members. The 100 poppies project that they completed is stunning and I am so proud of each and every one of them, and their teachers, for putting so much effort into ensuring that the stories of our Anzac’s continue to be told generation after generation.

Most importantly on this day, I would like to acknowledge and give my most heartfelt thanks to our former service men and women, our Scarborough RSL members who joined with Scarborough Primary School to enable today to happen. The men and women who not only fought for our country, but continue to give of themselves willingly.

I believe that although Anzac Day was originally designed to commemorate this particular day in history, it has now grown far beyond that to commemorate every Australian and New Zealander who has served or is currently serving our country. To each and every one of those men and women, we say thank you.

Sarah - Question guide for children in grades six and seven

# data[].attributes.body
This guide is to be given to students in grades six and seven as a guide for them to create their own interview questions so that they can interview the RSL member that they are paired with.

Who are you talking with?

At the beginning of your interview it is very important to introduce yourself and to find out who it is that you are talking with. You will already know their name, but find out details such as their date of birth, where they are from, which arm of the defence force they served with and their rank and which war/s they served in and where.

The beginning

Now you need to ask questions about what it was like for your interviewee when they first started thinking about their involvement in the war. You could ask how old they were when the war started affecting them, how they came to decide to serve their country and how they were feeling at the time. You could talk with them about their training and maybe how their parents felt about them getting involved.

At war

This is the part of your interview where you discuss the war itself. Find out about their day to day lives whilst they served their country. How they lived, what they ate, their camaraderie with their fellow service men and women. You may ask, if appropriate, if they were involved in direct combat and how they were able to deal with being in that situation. You could enquire as to whether they were awarded any medals for their service and whether they have a good memory that stands out for them during that time.  Did they have a good luck charm or routine that they followed to help keep them safe?

After the war

If applicable, can they remember where they were at what they were doing at the time that they heard that the war was over? What was it like for your interviewee when they returned home from war? What did they do once they got home (ie return to work/study)?

Reflection

How important is it to your interviewee that Australia commemorates Anzac Day and that young Australians continue on this tradition? How long have they been a member of the Scarborough RSL club and what do they enjoy about it? Do they still have friends from the war that they catch up with or talk with? Is their any advice that they would give to young Australians today?

This is a draft of a Twitter account for the 100 Years celebration, just to show the concept behind the account and the sort of items that would be tweeted.

# data[].attributes.body
I also want to include a dress up corner/photo booth in the library.

Children could dress up in various costumes - soldiers uniforms, nurses uniforms, sailors uniforms dresses of the day and pose for photos.

A volunteer could be set up to run the photo booth and post pictures of the day. The photo booth could also have props such as fake guns, medical equipment, slouch hats, replica medals, etc.

Sarah - Bek - brilliant idea! I was thinking along similar lines myself re the dress ups/getting the kids into vintage style uniforms etc, but hadn't thought as far as the photo booth idea :) Not sure about how parents would feel about kids posing with fake guns in this day and age however, so other than that I'd say the concept is great.

Hi everyone,

So to continue with working with the children to understand how Anzac day is relevant i am going to introduce a family tree for the middle classes. Each child can create a family tree (with help at home?) starting with themselves, to work back and see if anyone in their family was in the war or if their family was affected by the war. For families that have immigrated since the war, this could also be an opportunity to expand awareness on how devastating WW1 was

Hi Group, I have altered the podium to add the Aboriginal flag to honour the Aborigials who fought for Australia and also the original land owners. So now the stage is set for our Anzac 100 year celebration!

Letter from me (aka - City of Stirling) to local cafe asking to provide morning tea for the Event day.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't created actual Twitter and FB accounts but Twitter handle would be @ScarboroughAnzac100

and would tweet about historical facts and stories from the RSL members and others, links to relevant books, movies, information points and activities including items like the design for the poppy so that people can make these elsewhere, plus updates on the event day for people who want to come along. The FB account would link with the Twitter account and would contain similar information but more images of the children's creations (not the children themselves) and could be used by the families and older children who have their own FB accounts to communicate and share ideas and stories. Also videos from YouTube and Vimeo etc of service men and women.

Have a good group with lots of great ideas.

Can we have the RSL members can help students to plant an Australian native tree to mark the 100th year of ANZAC in the school compound? I tried to use Paula (Student)'s image for the site but it happened to be locked and I could not use Adobe Photoshop to remove it.  So, this can be adjusted later when the content of the site is final.

I just made notes of the list of events, competition (essay and art) and winners prizes for the art, craft and essay work.

On the 'Contact Us' page I will put the details of the school contact and maps of how to get there.  'Our Mission' page will state that the purpose of the Community Art Project Group is to commemorate our war heroes of past and present, to bring together the past, present and future member of the RSL member to share and past on a tradition by showing and acknowledging

ANZAC day and showing our respect for 'The Fallen'.  - followed acknowledgement by to the school Organisers and Sponsors of the event.  'About Us' page who we are ie undergraduate student from The Curtin University and how we came up with this idea and why - 100th year jubilee of ANZACs on 25th April 2015. - followed by our names as Organisers.

I have reread everybody's input an I see some deadline and period over which the activities leading up to the BBQ event so that we can list them under the 'Introduction' page of the events.

This is my mind-map of the design or plan that I have come up with for the webpages.  If there are any suggestions of dateline please advise me soon.

It would be an idea to use the overhead projector to put this up while its being read because sometimes the microphone/speakers and voice might not be clear for everyone at the assembly to hear.  I love

poems and this is a nice touch to the assembly.  When you say 'student' do you mean us or the school student representative?

# data[].attributes.body
I do not have any children of my own, but I think if I was a child again, I would enjoy participating in these class room activities.  Did some one mention fundraising? What kind of fundraising? Would it be food, art and craft made by the kids, jumble sale?  On just an exhibition of all their art and craft works.  I presume that if you expect to fundraise or have a competition then you would want to advertise to locals or parents by putting the school web site?  And a method of displaying art and craft works of the winnersbecause the concept of art exhibitions/galleries in the adult world is to put these displays on an online gallery for the school for the events and gatherings conducted on school grounds.

It took me awhile to do the presentation because I had not

used embedded sound in animation on PowerPoint. Unfortunately, after played around with all the different file conversion format the movies files were too bigto be uploaded on to padlet.com

# data[].attributes.body
I used 'WavePad Sound Editor Masters' to put these pieces together to make one sound file to be played in the background of the these slides. These slides will walk us through the brief history by displaying pictures of soldiers in WW1 to the main ceremony of remembering them to present day soldiers who are still battling wars abroad to the monuments for us to visit and pay our respect. The ANZAC day was originally meant to commemorate WW1 and WW2 soldier. But, today is means to remember all the war that Australian and New Zealand soldier fought including Vietnam, Korean, Malaya, Kokoda and Afghanistan.

As this presentation says I am trying to create a four paged website because I am a computer programmer with computer science/IT background and have a better understand on how to create HTML pages, better than just give my oral presentation to the group. I still have a strong Malaysian Indian accent and need more practice but I am a better speaker in person. I would not stress about this because I am already one day late in submitting this work to the group. I am going to go through each an everyones suggestion and try to create a four page website and zip it up an upload. How does that sound? I will start this tomorrow morning.

Maria: I have handed this in a bit late but I was racing against time to finish the presentation and tried my best to compress it to a format and size for uploading which was done several time.  There is one more option I have not tried and that is to make the slideshow small for iPhone size.  If I success tomorrow I will upload by evening.

RSL ideas include general meeting of RSL members to organise
event from the RSL side and finalise numbers able to attend on the day, liaise
with the school to confirm arrival time and schedule for the day.

List veterans able to attend and their service history,
provides a mix of various service personnel with varying service experience, e.g.
nurses, pilots, soldiers, submariners, etc.

Arrange for attending veterans to plan a brief presentation
of their service history and experiences, wear medals and explain them to the
schoolchildren.

RSL to present a plaque of appreciation to the school at the
mini assembly, thanking the school and children.

Hi Bek, That's a brilliant idea about the poppies and I love the idea of children writing thank you notes too. It would also be a great idea for the kids to make a wreath to present to the RSL members who visit the school. I've chosen poppies and wreaths for the children to draw in each class's drawing contest so they need to be taught their cultural significance I agree.<br>

# data[].attributes.body
I have been looking at some educational sites, and I am hoping to talk to a few of the teachers at my sons school tomorrow. But as well as looking at the poppies, could we get each class to make a wreath - again exploring the symbolism behind it. I think as well as teaching them about who the Anzacs were and why we should not forget their sacrifice, I will be looking at teaching abt the traditions, the ode, the last post, the dawn service, and why this is all significant

I found this for younger kids - helping Simpson find his way to medical help -

# data[].attributes.body
Paula, to work in with your ideas of the 100 poppies. From a history discipline, I was

hoping to work with the kids about the significance of the poppy - why is the poppy the symbol we associate with Anzac day? Why do we celebrate it, and who were the Anzacs. I was thinking that the older children (middle and upper Primary) could write their thoughts on why we use these symbols and attach to the poppies. Younger children could just write a thankyou. it might make it more relevant for the children, give them a sense of inclusion maybe

Hi group,

I'm attaching a couple of sketches of

a permanent memorial for the Scarborough Primary School

to commemorate the Centenarary of Anzac Day in April 2015.

I drew inspiration from my local Anzac memorial

and from the Pitt Street memorial in Sydney city. The design

I chose was a simplified version, and I really wanted to

include the Ode which the other team members have

mentioned. I have made the memorial two sided and Ive also

drawn a plan of the podium which the School could use for

general assemblies, as well as speeches for our ANZAC 100 Years

Celebrations. Each winner for essay or art competition should

receive a medal, as Helen previously posted, and an over-all winner

could receive a prize of $100 (?) This would be a great place for

the kids to celebrate Remembrance Day in November each year

too. I've made the 100 poppies that the students are making form the words "100 years", to be placed behind the podium, either in a garden or lawn or on a wall made by the school children.

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Maria and Group I tried to add my skills to the list but I couldn't. I'm studying for a Bachelor of Arts, and I'd like to design a permanent monument for the Anzac 100 year anniversary. I'd also like to suggest drawing competitions for each class and am very grateful to Helen for all the illustrations and ideas she provided in her children's books and pamphlets. I will use some of those for kid's art activities to present to the representatives from the RSL.  Thanks for coming up with Scarborough RSL and Primary School, I'll work on the art side of the project. I'll post some ideas tomorrow on the Padlet. Thanks everyone for your excellent ideas, we have a great group! Paula

I was thinking we also need to include

somewhere the connection with the last

post and the Lest We Forget poem. They are both so important to Anzac day. The children could discuss what they think the meaning behind both. An older child could read it - maybe with a slideshow of the work the school has doe to commemorate along with photos from RSL members.
