Remembrance Day!

Today, our school came together to honour and remember all those who have served and continue to serve in the Armed Forces.

In class, we used oil pastels to create beautiful poppy artwork, thinking carefully about what the poppy represents — hope, peace, and remembrance. The bright red petals reminded us of the courage and sacrifice of those who fought for our freedom.

We also had a very special assembly with soldiers from the Royal Air Force and Army, who shared their experiences and helped us understand the importance of Remembrance Day. They spoke about bravery, teamwork, and why we wear our poppies with pride.

After this, Year 2 walked down to the war memorial statue to pay their respects. They laid a wreath on behalf of the whole school, standing quietly to reflect on the lives lost in wars past and present. It was a thoughtful and moving moment for everyone.

What can you do at home?

1. Create your own poppy – Use paper, fabric, or craft materials to make a poppy and display it in your window.

2. Share a story – Talk with a family member about someone they know who served in the Armed Forces, or look up a local war hero together.

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.” 🌹
