Remembrance

We have been remembering the soldiers of the First World War. First we went to the war memorial to find the names of the soldiers who died in World War 1. We found their names in the church too.

Back at school we all chose one of the soldiers to research. We looked up their names in the old registers and books from around 1904. It was exciting and also sad to see them in the books because they were children in our school over 100 years ago but they did not grow old like we will.

 It inspired us to write poems. In the first verse we wrote about what it may have been like to be a child in our school all those years ago. In the next verse we wrote about what it may have been like to go to war and what life was like in the trenches.

This is the poppy we made using pebbles. Each pebble has the name of one of the soldiers on.
Year 6 wrote the lines from the poem 'In Flanders Field'.

Our work has been displayed in the exhibition marking the centenary of the end of the First World War. We are very proud of it and we know that now We Will Remember Them.
