Today ,Friday 11th November, Year 5 presented a Remembrance Assembly.

The children really wanted to mark the end of their topic work on WWII by showing respect and thanks to all the soldiers who fought in WWI, WWII, and other conflicts that have happened around the world. The children explained that Armistice Day was the day that the guns stopped firing during WWI and that Remembrance Sunday is always the first Sunday after the 11th November.

We created  art work inspired by the poppies of Flanders Field and displayed it during our assembly. We then explained why a poppy is worn and what each part represents.
