Remembrance Assembly

Puma Class delivered a thoughtful and moving Remembrance Assembly, helping us reflect on the sacrifices made by those affected by war and the importance of peace today. The children shared the history and significance of Remembrance Day, explained the symbolism of the poppy, and explored the enormous impact of the First and Second World Wars.

Drawing on their learning this term, the class spoke about their studies of evacuation, rationing and life on the Home Front, as well as their visit to RAF Duxford, where they created documentaries about different aspects of the war. They also shared their experiences from a History Off the Page day and excerpts from their own evacuation stories inspired by Goodnight Mister Tom.

The assembly included a moving recital of John McCrae’s famous poem In Flanders Fields, a minute’s silence, the sounding of the Last Post and a performance of the song Remember. The children presented their learning with maturity, confidence and respect, creating a powerful tribute to those who have served and sacrificed in conflicts past and present. We are incredibly proud of Puma Class and the dignity with which they led our school community in remembrance.
