On 11.11.11, Stoneyburn Primary School held an Armistice Day Assembly to commemorate and remember those who have given their lives or have been injured in wars throughout our distant and recent history. At 11.00 a.m., everyone in school observed one minute’s silence, along with others throughout the nation, as a mark of respect and an act of remembrance of the 8,500,000 who died in the Great War of 1914-18, and the many millions who have died in wars since. Primary 7 pupils have been involved in the ‘Poppy Scotland’ campaign to raise money for helping injured ex-servicemen currently re-building their lives after fighting in wars in different parts of the world. The assembly and period of silence were poignant reminders of the sacrifice others made so we can enjoy the lives we do today.
