November is an important month. Every year we remember and reflect upon the impact that wars have had on people around the world. On 11th November every year, we stop what we are doing and remember those who lost their lives in war. This year is particularly significant and important because we are remembering that it has been 100 years since the beginning of World War One.
Last week, every child in the school made a poppy which was displayed in the hall. All the poppies together look very powerful and are a reminder of the importance of November this year. We were inspired by the poppies installed at the Tower of London.
