A Day to Remember

On Wednesday 11th November 2009, Year 3 walked to Hollybrook Cemetery to visit the World War 1 Cenotaph.

We looked at the graves, read the names of the men who had died at sea and we spent some time reflecting on the sacrifices these young men made for us.

At 11am, we stood for 2 minutes in silence and laid a wreath of poppies on the monument. The poppies had our thoughts and prayers written on them.



On the way back, we stopped to pay our respects to the World War 2 graves.

The year 3 children showed great maturity on our trip, and we were very proud of how well they behaved.
