  1. That is a great map Nate. Where in the world is Gallipoli? How long did you work on this for? What other information do you know about Anzac day? What does ANZAC stand for?

  2. Gosh Nate, it looks like you have been really busy. That map would have needed lots of colouring. That's a lot of NZ'ers that lost their lives, which is very sad. Isn't it important to honour all of the New Zealander's who have fought in a war for our country. Thank you for your information Nate.

  3. Hi Nate. I can see that you must have been doing some excellent research to find out your information. Do you have some books about Anzac Day at home or did you use the internet? I wonder if the Black Sea is actually black. What do you think? Maybe you could find out and let me know.

  4. Kia ora Nate,
    Well done on writing such an informative blogpost about ANZAC day. You have managed to include so many different facts, and it is great to see you learning about some of our New Zealand history.
    I really like how you included how long the battle of Gallipoli lasted for, and how many New Zealanders died during the campaign.
    Do you know the dates of when the war started/ended?
    You mentioned how the first ANZAC day was on the 25th of April, 1915. How did they celebrate ANZAC day back then?
    Did you celebrate ANZAC day at all this year? If so, how?
    It would be awesome if you could reply to this comment and let me know!


    Quick Tip- It is always important to acknowledge the work of others, so it would be awesome if you could edit this post and include the source of where you got your information from
    Keep up the fantastic work!
