Eating Like ANZACS!

 

What a memorable way to wrap up our ANZAC Day learning! Today, our class travelled back in time and explored what meals may have been like for soldiers during World War I.

Here’s what we tried:
• Bully beef and onions
• Hardtack – an old-style army biscuit
• ANZAC biscuits

We began with the bully beef. Although a few students were unsure at first, most were willing to give it a taste—and many were pleasantly surprised! A few even came back for more.

The hardtack was a hit with lots of the class. We talked about how soldiers often softened it by dipping it in tea. Thankfully, our tamariki didn’t need to do that—they handled it just fine!

To finish, everyone enjoyed an ANZAC biscuit—crisp, sweet, and golden. Quite a contrast to the plain, tough biscuits soldiers would have eaten.

It was a great shared experience, and I was really impressed with how open-minded and brave everyone was in trying something new.

Week 2 term 2 Creative writing

30.04.26

My goal is to Punctuate dialogue correctly.

 

Josh, Lily and their legendary crew had sailed the seven seas and even the treacherous eighth, but never, never had they come across something as stunning and brilliant as this secret island of castaways. You see everybody thought that when somebody went overboard that they were either lucky enough to wash up on land or were doomed to death by the dangerous ocean but as it turns out very few people actually die from falling overboard because this secret group brings them to this wonderful island of serenity. Some Castaways choose to think there in heaven and end up going mad in the end however many decide to help their cause by rescuing other castaways. Josh and Lily had heard rumors of a place like this but were never sure whether to believe these stories or not, but now they knew it truly did exist there

A Delicious Snack: Anzac Biscuits!

Kamusta Reader!

Room 9 and I have gotten the opportunity of making Anzac Biscuits. We are learning to follow baking instructions to that we could have an amazing outcome. It originated in World War 1, where it had been sent by wives and women groups to the soldiers. Originally termed “Soldiers’ Biscuits” or “Red Cross Biscuits,” they were renamed in honor of the Australian New Zealand Army Corps.

Therefore to make the biscuits, we would make it in plastic bags. Making pastries in plastic bags is a huge advantage considering that it wouldn’t develop a huge mess, and you wouldn’t endure the annoyance of washing dishes.

I was paired with my friend Ruth, the bag crinkled in our hands as it was way easier to squish the bag instead of mixing it without making a mess. As for the ingredients, we had to combine the sandy and dry ingredients first, then the sticky and oily wet ingredients after. The feeling of mixed emotions and excitement was overflowing the hall.

After mixing, we noticed that it wasn’t golden brown like the others, so we decided to put more syrup, the vilocity of the lovely golden brown dripped slowly into the bag. However; this unfortunately lead to a slight syrup overdose…

Ruth and I decided to make 4 small biscuits and 2 large biscuits so that both of us could have 3 each. The sound of dinging occured after 10 minutes. The grainy texture of the biscuit was real soft in the middle, but a soft crust on the outside. Overall, our Anzac biscuits were successful and delicious to eat, although after taking a lot of bites it sort of gave a syrupy after-taste and was very squishy; which is what we could work on in the future.
Here is how to make ANZAC biscuits below; definitely recommend!
