In primary 7 we have been learning about World War 2 and we wrote some poems. Here is mine:
In my garden poppies grow, Beneath the soil row in row. All the people back then, They lay dead again and again. Remembrance day will soon pass by, For all those people who risked. Their lives and die I think to myself Why do I cry I’m thinking about them; Back then poppies blow In Flanders fields.Tag Archives: Remembrance
Wartime Poem
In primary 7 we have learning about World War 2 and we wrote some poems inspired by In Flanders Fields. Here is mine :
In Flanders Fields the poppies grow and mark the graves of the dead below That gave thier lives long ago. To save thier children the future of Britain. In modern day we still remember Their lives never die in our hearts forever remembered As the poppies rot and die we think why oh why Must the soldiers have to die I hope you do not have to see the death witnessed by John McRae Who sadly passed away many a year ago As the poppies blow past his grave we Remember the soldiers that were brave The larks still fly up in the sky That sing the tale of the soldiers who die The crying and tear does not match the bloodshed and fearThat you may hear in Flanders Fields.
Remembrance Poems
We have been learning all about Remembrance in class as part of our World War II topic. We wrote a poem inspired by In Flander’s Field. Here is my poem:
In Flander’s Fields where poppies grow, Soldiers who fought for long ago, We are loved and were loved.In Flanders fields
We lived long ago to see sunset glow Now we are between the crosses Buried deep below They never thought they would see me go.In Flanders fields
We symbolise those who died long ago, We also saw moonlight glowIn Flanders fields .
Remembrance Visit
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.
