Weekly Roundup

This week, we have marked Remembrance day with a special assembly and by observing a two minute silence on Tuesday 11^th November at 11am. We all came together on the playground to share this time as a whole school community. As part of our assembly, we thought about the people we remembered during our silence and anyone affected by war or conflict today. Ada told us how different colour poppies represent different people (and animals): red poppies commemorate those who sacrificed their life in World War 1 or any conflict that followed; purple poppies remember animals that have been victims of war; black poppies commemorate the contribution of black, African and Caribbean communities to the war effort and a white poppy promotes peace.
