Remembrance in Class

Classes remembered our armed forces today at 11’clock. Children stood in silence for one minute.

They learned that Remembrance Day marks the end of World War I and saw a slide show about service personnel from across the Commonwealth.

Some children told their classmates about relations who serve in the armed forces. This helped everyone to understand why we mark this sombre occasion.

It is very sad to think about the people who died in the war but it is the right thing to honour them - Eden-Rose, Y5.

I think of the soldiers that died for our country and for those who are still keeping it safe - Jacob, Y5.

I think it i really nice to think of the people who gave up their lives for us - Leo, Y5.

I like Poppy Day because it reminds me of all the animals and humans that went to war and lost their lives - Amelia, Y5.

It is sad that people lost their lives to save us but it is nice to do one minute’s silence for the people and animals who died - Thea, Y5.
