Onyx class really stepped up to the mark today and led our Remembrance celebrations for the whole school!
To start the day, they wrote fantastic descriptive paragraphs about the poppy fields of Flanders. Then, the wonderful Team and Vice Captains led a virtual assembly for the whole school. Did you know that the Marigold is a sign of remembrance in India?
Next, the whole school gathered around our flag pole at the front of school where we shared a 2 minute silence in memory of all those affected by war and conflict. Caprice and Harry -our Head Boy and Girl- laid a wreath with a lovely message attached to it from everyone at Sound.
Back in school, Onyx Class then spread out into all classes and shared a range of Remembrance poems that they had learnt off by heart for their homework. They performed them beautifully and confidently and received lots of super feedback from the other children. Well done guys!
After this, Poppy shared her senses Remembrance poem (that she wrote last week as part of our poetry week) with Topaz class and five members of Topaz shared their Remembrance cinquain poems with Onyx Class. The imagery and choice of vocabulary was unreal! Wow!
Finally, this afternoon Year 5/6 investigated the roles of those who didn’t go off to war and what part they played in the war effort. They looked at causes and consequences and realised that to win the war was a huge team effort. Peace was a team effort.
Onyx Class will always remember them ❤️
