Just a quick reminder, the children will have the opportunity to buy a Poppy on Thursday 11th and Friday 12th of November this week. If you want your child to buy one then they will need to bring in a small donation, in an envelope clearly labelled with their name and class so that when the poppy sellers from Year 5/6 come around your child will be able to purchase their very own Poppy.
We will be learning about Remembrance day and Reception will be joining the whole school for a two minute silence at 11.00 am, and be listening to the '2 minute silence charity song' which has an accompanying 'silent' video. We will be making Poppy's and learning about their significance, looking at old world war photos and listening to the song 'The last post' which is traditionally played to introduce the two minute silence in remembrance day ceremonies, that marks the final farewell. You can hear the song for yourselves at http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/remembrance/index.htm#last and read lots of other information about 'Poppy Day'.
