Remembrance Day 2020

Date: 11th Nov 2020 @ 8:10pm

This morning we all took part in our whole school Remembrance service via Zoom. Mr Turner from The Royal British Legion spoke to us about his childhood  memories of World War 2 and how we came to wear poppies as a symbol of remembrance.

After lunch we visited he Peace Garden to look at the poppy wreath and to have a few moments of reflection. Back in class we talked about remebrance, watched some clips from remembrance services and then the children split into groups to complete a task.

Each group were given 13 photographs linked to November 11th. Their task was to choose the photograph that they felt said the most to them . Many of the groups chose the photograph of the Commonwealth War Cemetry and said that they had chosen it as it showed how many people had died for us. As the children ordered their photos there was lots of great discussion going on.
