Normally our family goes to Marsden Cemetery on ANZAC Day because my grandfather is there. My parents, siblings, uncles, aunts and cousins all attend the service to remember those that went to war. Always followed by a cup of tea and cake!
This year we won't be able to go so we thought making a poppy or two would be a good way to remember.
I've added some photos of what we did:
We looked up poppy shapes online.
We got everything we thought we would need.
We drew a poppy using pencil.
Lottie cut it out.
We used a black pen to draw in the important lines.
We coloured in the middle of the poppy.
We stuck it in our front window.
We watched a video on how to make a poppy (it was very complicated) and it included a great idea - write the name of a solider on your poppy. It could be someone related to you or a solider you have heard of. Our poppy is in memory of Gordon Webber.
Happy poppy making!
