Remembrance Day

Date: 13th Nov 2024 @ 12:57pm

Year 1 have been remembering the soldiers, past and present, and all the other people and animals that have helped, supported and defended our country. Barney brought in a photograph of his Uncle and his medals to show us. We talked about the bravery of the soldiers, and had a discussion about the army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force and how they protect the land, sea and air. We watched a CBeebies video that showed us how all were affected by the wars, and how the first flowers to grow on the fields were poppies. We then coloured in some poppies, cut them out and displayed them in wreaths. The children worked in teams to make their wreaths and we displayed them in our classroom window in time for Remembrance Day. On 11.11.24, at 11am, we observed the 2 minute silence. The children were very respectful and we finished with a prayer.
