The Reception class learned about Remembrance Day, talked about the poppy symbol and learned the poem Why Are They Wearing Poppies Today? We used Skype to talk to ‘Mr. George’, who is a 100 year old veteran of the Second World War. We asked him questions about his RAF uniform and his medals. Mr George flew spitfire aeroplanes in the past and of course the children had lots of questions about what it was like to fly them. We all waved and said goodbye but the children want to talk to him again. Hopefully we can sing Happy Birthday to him when he is 101 in January.
As part of our commemoration, the whole school walked to the war memorial outside St. Augustine’s church for a service of Remembrance and at 11 o’clock the children bowed their heads in respectful silence. Norfolk House School laid a wreath and placed a cross at the war memorial.
