This week Ruby Class have been learning all about remembrance.
The children have shared some excellent knowledge about Remembrance Day and why we come together each year to think of those who gave their tomorrow for out today.
On Tuesday, the children created some fantastic remembrance list poems. I was blown away with the children’s ideas and the quality of their work.
On Thursday, we had a wonderful Remembrance Day assembly with our whole school led by Onyx class (Year 5/6). We then went outside to our flagpole and lay a Remembrance wreath and showed our respect with a 2 minute silence. Following this we had some super Year 6’s come and read us some beautiful remembrance poetry.
To finish off the week, we enjoyed creating our own landscape pieces of art based on what we think Flanders field would look like when poppies grow each year. We used oil pastels and water colours to create our wonderful masterpieces. We talked about making sure the poppies in the foreground were larger than those in the middle and background.
Well done Ruby Class. You are all AMAZING!
