Today, our school came together to mark Remembrance Day and take time to remember all those who have served and sacrificed for our country.

In the lead-up to today, the children have been busy creating their own poppies. These were brought together and proudly displayed in our school Remembrance Garden this morning, creating a special place for reflection.

Throughout the day, each class had the opportunity to visit the garden and spend a few quiet moments thinking about the meaning of Remembrance Day and why it is important that we remember.

Our Year 5 and 6 children also had the special opportunity to visit the village war memorial, where they joined members of our local community to pay their respects and remember those from our village who served and sacrificed. It was a lovely opportunity for the children to come together with the community and recognise the importance of remembrance beyond our school.

We also held a whole-school assembly, during which we came together to observe the two-minute silence as a mark of respect.

It was a thoughtful and meaningful day, giving our children the opportunity to reflect, show respect and understand the importance of remembering those who have made sacrifices for us.
