This week the whole school has gone ‘off curriculum’ to learn about World War 1 in commemoration of 100 years since the end of World War 1 in 1918. We have written prayers, poems and read stories all linked to the week of Remembrance. On Wednesday we had a pause afternoon and worked together to make poppies and medals. We then went up to Church where Rev Julie and Katrina led us in a service where we could learn and understand some more of those who fought in the war. Every child was then given a wooden cross with the name of somebody linked to the local area who gave their life in war. The hall displayed photographs of these people for the children to find and identify. At the end of the week we then walked as a school down to the War Memorial where we gathered and each laid our cross in remembrance. An amazing end to an amazing week when children showed such respect and reverence.
