Remembrance Day

Today is the 11th of November 2015, We are reflecting on remembrance day. This is a special day when World War 1 ended in 1918. World War 1 was a horrible battle that started in 1914 and lasted over 4 years! Lots of soldiers during this time got injured or sadly died. 


In assembly today we recited a poem that everyone in school learnt called 'Poppy, Poppy' to remember why we celebrate remembrance day. We really enjoyed learning this poem!




We have made our own poppies today by colouring two cake cases red and cutting them to shape a poppy before glueing it on card and drawing our own fields of poppies.




Last year the Tower of London was covered in 888,246 poppies to show that this is how many soldiers lost their lives in battle.
