This week Year 5 have been working hard to prepare a Remembrance assembly. Children not only prepared speeches explaining the history of Remembrance Sunday and the significance of the poppy, but also took the school back in time to meet characters from WW1. In this way, they were able to help children think more deeply about the effect of war and the impact on real lives.

It was a thoughtful occasion and the children did incredibly well, learning their speeches and poetry and presenting their work with clear and confident voices.
