Year 5 Remembers ❤️
On Wednesday, our Year 5 children led a thoughtful whole-school Remembrance Day assembly, bringing our school community together to remember those who have served and those whose lives have been affected by war.
Through readings and poetry, the children shared the importance of remembrance and taught the school about the different coloured poppies and what each represents. They also shared their own acrostic poems before we came together for a two-minute silence to pause and remember.
A particularly special part of the assembly was hearing the children’s personal connections to remembrance. They spoke about family members who are currently serving or have served our country, including some who served during the World Wars. These connections helped us all understand why remembrance continues to mean so much to families today.
We are very proud of the care, respect and maturity our Year 5 children brought to this special occasion. A huge thank you as
well to our EYFS children who painted us some beautiful poppies for our window display.
A heartfelt thank you to all the Year 5 parents and carers who joined us. Your support means so much, and it was lovely to share this meaningful occasion with you.
Lest we forget.
