Remembrance Day honours our armed forces members who have fought and died in the line of duty. November 11 is an important day for all Australians, and we would love to help you to share the importance of this day with your students. This year we have created a short, informative PowerPoint Presentation that you can download here.

Wearing a red poppy is a traditional way to commemorate Remembrance Day in Australia, so as we have done in previous years, we also have printable paper poppies below.

Instructions:

• Download and print the black and white sheet of poppies here. There are four poppies per page.
• Distribute one poppy per student and encourage them to colour the poppies red.
• Have each student cut out their poppies.
• Then it’s just a matter of pinning or taping them onto your students’ shirts.

Happy Easter! We’ve updated this classic game with a phonics twist! It works well as a one on one, or phonics rotation activity.

Set up

• Download and print the Easter Hunt board game and tokens here.
• You can use the board with the printed i/ie/i_e/igh/y long vowel graphemes, OR you can choose your own selection of graphemes to write in the eggs on the board.
• Cut out the player tokens on the third page.
• Laminate your board game and tokens if you wish to use it as a repeated activity.

How to play

• Divide the class into pairs or small groups.
• Each child must put his or her token on the space that says ‘Start’.
• Take it in turns to roll the dice.
• Move the token the number of spaces shown on the dice, moving right of the ‘Start’ square.
• If the child lands on an Easter egg, the child must read the grapheme and correctly pronounce the phoneme featured on the egg out loud, to remain in that place.
• If the child is able to think of a word that uses the grapheme, they can advance forward by following the bunny feet that are travelling up.
• If they cannot read the grapheme, they must follow the bunny feet that are travelling down.
• The child who reaches the ‘finish’ square first, wins.

NOTE:This resource can be used for Kindergarten,Year 1 and Year 2. You can make the game as hard or as easy as you like, depending on the phonemes you choose to include.
