Reception Will Remember Them

12 Nov

This week, our Reception pupils spent time learning about Remembrance Day and why it is important to remember those who have served our country.

The children enjoyed getting creative with a range of fun, poppy-themed activities! They made their own poppy biscuits, used playdough to create their very own unique poppies and produced some beautiful poppy artwork through finger painting.

Our youngest learners also took part in the two-minute silence. With the support of a lovely, age-appropriate animation, the children showed great respect as they joined together for a quiet moment of remembrance.

We have been so proud of how enthusiastically the children took part in all the activities and how they began to understand the importance of Remembrance Day.
