Primary 7a and Primary 7b visited the War Memorial in Uddingston Main Street. The walked down last Tuesday morning to visit the site as part of their World War 2 topic. They read the inscription on the memorial and discussed the meaning and thought behind this. They also held a minutes silence for those who gave of their lives for our country in this and the last century.
The children have successful used their local environment to extend their learning.
I have learned that a war memorial can have speech like:- ‘We shall never forget those who died for the sake of thier country in two World Wars.’.
They can have many designs, symbols and many fonts.
They can help people remember their loved ones and be proud of what the soldiers have done.

I really enjoyed the walk down to Uddingston to see the cenotaph. It was three big stones with a cross on top. One of the stones was engraved with the dates of the second world war 1939-1945, which my great grandfather fought in. It made me realise how lucky we all are to live in a free country and not have to worry about war.
After we sketched the cenotaph, we walked towards the church for a minute silence and my friend read a poem called “In Flanders Fields,” which i felt was very touching.
LEST WE FORGET!!
I think that the day we visited the cenotaph was a great day. We walked down to the cenotaph at the Uddingston Cross then crowded around it. After paying our respects, we walked down to the front of the church in Uddingston, we heard a reading of the WW1 poem, In Flanders Fields.
It was a very emotional day and I think that everybody enjoyed it. And to all of those who fought in wars and the people who are still fighting. We will never forget their bravery.
