One of the stories was The ANZAC button. It is about a soldier who went to war and he had a button his khaki jacket. It saved his life when he was hit by shrapnel on his neck. After the war he threw the jacket in his wardrobe. On April 25th he got it out again and wore it to the ANZAC parade.
After he died his great-grand-daughter tied the buttons from the coat onto a red ribbon to wear on ANZAC days - summary by Ellen.
We also read a journal story called Boy Soldiers. It was about 2 boys that were under the age of 20 who went to the war because they thought it was going to be an adventure. Stan's gas mask came off and he had breathing problems for the rest of his life - summary by Caleb.
Aileen and me is a story about a girl that is afraid of bombs and thunderstorms and about her friend who is the story-teller. Their Dads went to war. One of the Dads came back and the other one didn't - summary by Jacob.
I like doing the ANZAC writing. My favourite one is the donkey one.
