(For the early years - Prep to Year 2.) Although this booklet has been produced primarily for students to complete after their visit to the Shrine of Remembrance, other students should find they can complete most of the activities, particularly if they are already skilled at using scissors and glue. But note that the illustrations are in black and white. The publication is no longer available on the Shrine's website.
