Lest We Forget
Remembrance Day is 11 November every year, the same day that World War I ended. It is also known as Armistice Day. Poppies became a symbol of World War I because they have grown around some of the places where battles were fought.
Year 1 children made their own poppies when learning about this origin and discussed their hopes of a peaceful future for everyone.
The children collaged red paper onto printed newspaper to create their poppies.
“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them,” Laurence Binyon.
