Remembrance Day is a day to remember and honour people who have fought and died in wars.\u00a0 It marks the end of World War I, which ended at 11 a.m. on November 11th, 1918, and people observe a two-minute silence at that time to think about the bravery of soldiers and the importance of peace. Many people wear a poppy, a flower that grew in the battlefields following World War I, as a symbol of remembrance.<\/p>\n

Leading up to remembrance Sunday we had poppies delivered to the school with a donation box. Every day for the past week we have gone around the school asking if anyone wanted to buy a poppy. There is no set price for a poppy but we remind people that all the money is for veterans who fought for our freedom and safety.<\/p>\n

On Sunday the 9th<\/sup> of November our school representatives, Grace and O-Jo, went to the Sunday service and teas. Then they sang songs and prayed. After that they walked to the memorial on the hill nearby the school. They laid a wreath of poppies at the bottom of the memorial and then had two-minute silence, thinking about all who have died in a war.<\/p>\n

On the 11th we had a special assembly for remembrance and also had a one-minute silence.<\/p>\n
