Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day is an annual day of observation held on 11th November to mark the end of the First World War at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918.
Ceremonies are held in the United Kingdom (and other nations) to commemorate both World Wars and all conflicts since. Remembrance Sunday is also marked each year, usually falling on the second Sunday in November.
This is an opportunity for people to remember those who sadly lost their lives in the War, and those who have died in wars around the world. This is marked by holding a two-minute silence, and traditionally we wear a red poppy to mark Remembrance Day.
Classes have been preparing artwork, listening to poems and finding out about Remembrance Day.
