Gaming to Reflect

Flanders Field

HMV Prize

When 7 and 8 year olds use Mine Craft to create 

Flanders Field strewn with poppies

and

HMV Prize with William Sanders on board, waiting for 

German subs in still waters on a 

moonlit night..

in their own time, at home , with no project or home learning 

demands from the teacher, celebrations are called for

because...

1. The Inquiry into Anzac Day has been owned and led by 

these learners to have made this kind of an impact.

2. Anzac Day and its message has hit home and inspired a

respectful response in kids so young.

3. Gaming is a very valid tool for learning when children are 

left to 'their own devices' in the right context with the 

background work done by the coach/teacher/facilitator.
