13 Nov Reception – History – Remembrance Day
As part of our History curriculum, the whole school came together to take part in a special Remembrance Day assembly. The children participated in a range of activities to help them understand the importance of remembering those who served and sacrificed to help keep us safe and protect our freedom.
Our Reception children got creative by painting and making poppies to be displayed in our KS1 playground. They also used their handprints to create petals for a beautiful class wreath and made their own individual poppies.
We learnt about the significance of the poppy and why we observe Remembrance day each year. Through age-appropriate discussions and activities, the children began to understand the importance of remembering, showing respect and being thankful for the people who have helped others. It was a lovely opportunity to introduce the values of kindness, peace and gratitude while helping the children understand why we pause to remember.
