Today P6 led the annual Remembrance Assembly and welcomed special guests from the armed services.

P6 have been learning about Remembrance including why we have a two-minute silence, who we are remembering, which special poems are shared at Remembrance, what Article 38 means for children and why we wear a poppy. Pupils all wore poppies they had made themselves and placed a beautiful hand-made wreath centre stage to mark the occasion. The class have been rehearsing every day for the last week  and did a wonderful job of sharing a reflective and thought-provoking assembly.

We were incredibly lucky to be joined by Lance Corporal and Private Mallaney from the Royal Logistics Corps who answered lots of interesting pupil questions and spoke about their experiences in the armed services. We were very grateful for them to give up their time to come in and we even got to try on some army equipment and uniforms at the end.

Well done Primary 6, you certainly gave us all an experience to remember.
