How to
Poppies
For the
poppies along the bottom I made them using this tutorial
Tissue Paper Flowers for Any Occasion by Marie LeBaron of makeandtakes.com
I started using buttons for the centre
but in the end because I made so many I just turned over the end of the pipe
cleaner to make the centre of the flower
Poems
I found copies of both poems “In
Flanders Field” and “We shall keep the Faith on the internet”
I then created an A4 size poster (I
used this size because our colour printer only does up to A4 pages). I then
added free pictures from the internet relating to the poems. If you want to
reuse these posters it would be best to laminate them. They can easily be used
for both ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day every year.
I also found this picture and included
it in the display

Cross
This was simply made by finding a
blank cross on Microsoft clipart and adding the words “Lest we forget”. I than photocopied it to the size I wanted.

War Statistics
This took a little searching but I
found a couple of sources that had this information and compiled it to make a
poster of the basic statistics. For the background a found an Anzac picture.
Because of the amount of information I had to make it on two A4 pages and then
cut them out and made an A3 size poster.

Title
The title was made by printing the
letters in black on red paper and then cut to leave a border. Once again if you
want to use the title again it would be best to laminate it. You may also want
to do extra numbers at the same time so that you can change the date to reflect
the current year
Books
To complete the display I found books
throughout the library dealing with war stories mainly Australian but any war
books were fine. I put two on the wall as part of the display and the rest on
the shelf below. I always allow students to borrow any of the books on the display as
the idea of doing these displays is to promote the reading of these books.
