We listened to Dame Vera Lynn singing “We’ll Meet Again”and discussed about how the song was sending out a positive message of all being together again. As a class we watched the story of Remembrance Day and we learnt about the significance of the poppy. Then we sat quietly and respectfully as we took part in the 2 minutes silence at 11am and listened to the The Last Post as we thought about the service men and women who lost their lives in the war. Mrs Cobham then shared some photos of her Great Grandad who fought in WW1 and her two Grandads who both fought in WW2 and their different roles. Then we listened to Mrs Cobham read a poem “Only a Boy” which told a story about a young boy who went to war and didn’t return to his family. Mrs Clarke told us about how her grandad when he was a little boy was an evacuee who was sent from Manchester to the Lake District so he could be safe.
Everyone enjoyed listening and looking at the photos of the real soldiers from WW1 and WW2.
Well done 9R you were very respectful during the 2 minute silence.
