Remembrance in Year 3

Today we learnt all about the children who sacrificed their childhoods during World War One and tried to help the war effort in any way they could. We were amazed that some children gave their money, their time and even put themselves in danger to help the war. In particular, we were fascinated to discover that Boy Scouts and Girl Guides were running during the war and still run now!

We looked at lots of different photographs and tried to decipher what the children in the images were possibly doing. We were very surprised to find that children played such a major part at home whilst their parents went to fight on the front line.

To commemorate those who sacrificed their lives, we made poppies in class which were used to make the number 100 on the cage. This was to signify 100 years since WW1 ended. We used four heart sahpes, a black circle and a leaf template to make our poppies. 

 The whole school made poppies and these were tied to the cage in remembrance. We then had a photo taken in front of them. We felt it looked amazing!

We also had a class photo taken in front of the art to remember our day and the people who sacrificed their futures for our today.

Our second poppies were used to create a wreath of remembrance for our middle room. 

As you can see, year 3 had a fantastic day learning all about the sacrifices that were made and paying our respects to those who did not survive. We thank them and will always remember them!
