Poppy Day

In November this year my Tigers wore their poppies to commemorate those who lost their lives during World War Two. This was also part of what they learnt during their English classes with Miss Yizelt. They made posters which showed pictures and information about World War Two, as well as making their own poppies to wear. Grade 4 student Viviana Vicente was invited to present a poppy to the school’s director Mr James Norbury.       


 

What is Remembrance Day?

Remembrance Day is also known as Poppy day, because it is traditional to wear an artificial poppy. They are sold by the Royal British legion, a charity dedicated to helping war veterans.

Remembrance Day is on 11 November. It is a special day set aside to remember all those men and women who were killed during the two World Wars and other conflicts. At one time the day was known as Armistice Day and was renamed Remembrance Day after the Second World War.
