Remembrance Day Activities

This week in topic we have been developing our understanding of why remembrance day is such an important occasion each year in November.

Can you remember why the poppy is so important?

Below this post are some link to some websites you can look at to help your understanding of remembrance day.

Here we are during our learning. We did three different activities....

• We wrote postcards to the soldiers who are fighting for and protecting our country today.
• We did some artwork in the style of Van Gogh, the technique we used was called 'pointilism' which we used it to recreate his famous poppy picture.
• We described what it must have been like in the trenches during the world wars and looked at problems the soldiers had such as 'trenches foot'.
