Remembrance

For Remembrance Day we took part in a live assembly from the Tower of London organised by

There was a mixture of articles about World War I, poems read by youngsters and information on how all the ceramic poppies were made. The poppies make a spectacular display  -  888 246 of them - one for each person lost in the war. When they are removed they will be making their way to people who have bought them. They are all sold out and money raised will be going to service charities.

After thinking about the war and discussing what peace means for us we created a display. We wrote our thoughts about peace on templates of white doves - the symbol of peace. When we were finished we assembled them on the wall in the shape of a dove carrying a poppy in its beak.

The picture will be uploaded to the Why Remember campaign for schools and will hopefully form part of a large online mosaic.

On Tuesday 11th the whole school took part in a two minute silence to show respect and think about all those who have lost their lives in conflicts.
