In preparation for Armistice Day tomorrow and following on from Memorial Sunday, pupils at Kirkcolm have been learning about the significance of this day and how we use the poppies to mark remembrance for all the people who have died at war. 

On Thursday, Mrs Adams lead an assembly on this. Pupils understood how different coloured poppies represent different things, where the symbol of the poppy comes from, read through the poem Flander’s Field and learned how the donations raised from the poppies go towards supporting War Veterans in the country. 

Pupils went on to make some Poppy art in pairs to create a large wreath to display at the War Memorial at Kirkcolm Primary. Pupils took a walk up to the Memorial today to show their respect.
