We remember and thank everyone whose service and sacrifice help ensure a safe and peaceful world today.
On Thursday 11 November we came together as a community to remember the service and sacrifice made by our forefathers and to remind ourselves about our responsibilities to encourage peace and reconciliation. We thought about what remembrance means for us today during the Coronavirus pandemic, and how the service and sacrifice of nurses, doctors, armed forces and community volunteers helping at foodbanks, for example, helps make our communities safe, saves lives and protects our freedom in times of crisis.
Pupils celebrated Remembrance Day by observing a 2-minute silence, exploring the importance of poppies – the symbols of Remembrance -, making Flanders Fields, analysing propaganda posters, and exploring the reality of life in the trenches.
