Remember Remember the 11th of November.

In Year 6 we made poppies to respect and to remember the people that died in the Great War of 1914-1918. We discussed the poem In Flanders Fields and we learnt why we wear poppies. It is because they were the first sign of life on the battlefields after the war ended. We learnt that the money from the sale of poppies through the Royal British Legion goes to the families of serving soldiers and those that have lost people during wartime; it may also go to veterans who have served our country's forces bravely. As a school we have displayed our poppies in a '100' memorial sign because it has been 100 years since World War I has ended.
