Remembrance Day Assembly

On 11th November, our Year 6 Puma Class pupils led a moving assembly attended by parents and the school community. Through thoughtful presentations, readings, and music, the children reflected on the significance of Remembrance Day and honoured those who have served and sacrificed in times of war.

The assembly included historical insights into both World Wars, the story behind the poppy symbol, and powerful statistics that remind us of the human cost of conflict. Pupils shared learning from their recent studies, including the book Once by Morris Gleitzman, a visit to Henry Moore’s home, and their immersive “History Off the Page” experience as wartime evacuees. They also read their own creative evacuation stories inspired by Goodnight Mr Tom.

A highlight was the recital of John McCrae’s poignant poem In Flanders Fields, followed by a minute’s silence and the Last Post, creating a moment of deep reflection for all present. The assembly concluded with the song “Remember”, sung beautifully by the class.

We are proud of our pupils for their respect, maturity, and dedication in commemorating this important day. Please enjoy the photos of the assembly.
