Crew council were very proud to be invited to take part in the Armistice Day ceremony in Thorne Memorial Park this morning. Our children proudly wore their poppies and recited a specially composed poem to remember the fallen in all wars. Our preparations for this began a few weeks ago when we decorated netting in History Club and constructed a wreath to be laid at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday. Our Councillors can be seen with both of these tributes in the photos below. As a school we focused on the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey and learned a little about the origins of this very special grave. Why not ask your children to share the story with you? Also, each Crew is now the proud owner of a ‘Garden of Remembrance’ display, where we can remember each day the sacrifices of these brave men and women. Even our Nurture Hub children got involved and produced a lovely poppy collage.
When you go home, tell them of us and say For your tomorrow We gave our today.
