Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day – Wednesday 11th November 

Today we marked Remembrance Day, remembering and honouring those who lost their lives in war. During worship, Mrs Reynolds led a special dedication to mark this important occasion. The children showed great respect as they took part in a dedicated time to reflect and remember those who have made sacrifices for our country. The children learned about why a poppy is used as a symbol of remembrance and reflected about their lives and how different they would have been if those sacrifices hadn't been made. The Year 2 children recited the poem, 'In Flanders Fields' by John McCrae. They used some actions and delighted in listening to the poem set to music. Later in the day, Reception children decorated some biscuits to look like poppies.
