Year 3 - Remembrance Day

Date: 11th Nov 2025 @ 4:43pm

Today, Year 3 have been learning all about Remembrance Day. We started by talking about what we already know and why we have Remembrance Day each year. We remembered that it is a special time to think about and honour the soldiers who have fought and died for our country, helping to keep us safe and free.

In art, we created some beautiful gestural drawings of poppies in our sketchbooks. We practised using different lines and shapes to show movement and detail. After that, we chose our favourite poppy design and created a final piece on black card, using chalk and oil pastels to make our poppies bright and bold. The colours really stood out, and everyone worked so carefully to add lots of detail.

This morning, we planted our poppies together and took a quiet moment to remember the fallen soldiers. It was a peaceful and thoughtful time for all of us.

Later, we joined the whole school for our Remembrance Service. We listened carefully as the Year 6 readers told us all about the meaning of Remembrance Day and why the poppy is such an important symbol.

We are very proud of how respectful and reflective everyone in Year 3 was today. Our poppies now stand proudly as a reminder of those who have given so much for us.
