We Remember #2017

Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed since the end of the First World War to remember the members of our armed forces who have died in the line of duty. To commemorate this we had two minutes of silence on Friday and the whole school made this sign out of poppies.  They are the flowers which grew on the battlefields after the war.
