These are the details for the schoolwide artwork that is planned to commemorate the centenary of WWI:
Dear parents & whanau,
As you may be aware, August 2014 marks 100 years since
World War 1 was declared. As a school we
are coming together to create a thought-provoking piece of outdoor art to
commemorate this event, specifically remembering the sacrifice of the 91
servicemen who left from the New Lynn area.
Through our project your child will learn, not only about art
techniques, but also some facts about the Great War, the meaning of the red
poppy and other symbols of war.
To make this project meaningful and relevant to our
students we would like to compile a list of your family members that served
during World War 1 and possibly include their names in our art project
too. Please upload the name, photo and
any details of your family member to the Padlet Wall
http://padlet.com/kirstenb/room21wewillremember (When uploading your information please also
include your child’s name and class.)
The unveiling of our artwork will be in early Term
3. It will be a time to commemorate the
significance of World War 1 with our school community and the community at
large. You will receive more information about our commemorative event towards
the end of the term. If you have any
questions or suggestions you may email me at kirstenb@arahoe.school.nz
Regards,
Kirsten Bland
