Lets Get Creative ANZAC day is this Saturday.  I think it would be great to do some Poppy Art to remember all those who died in the war. Today you have two options (depending on what you have available at home).  You could do this milk bottle art or you could draw some poppies and decorate your letterbox/window/door. (Ask permission from home first). Milk Bottle Art (see my video) 1.  Get an adult to help cut the top part off your milk bottle. 2.  Using the links below.  Draw a poppy/cross onto paper. 3.  Put your paper inside your bottle and trace with a black vivid onto your bottle.  If you don't have vivids then you could just stick your paper onto the outside of your bottle.   4.  Put sand or dirt on the inside of your bottle and put your tea-light candle on the dirt. Ask an adult to light it on Anzac Day.  If you don't have a tea light candle              you could use a torch.
