Coronation Thank You
In the summer term we wrote letters to HRH King Charles III to celebrate his Coronation. This week we were very excited to receive a thank you card from the King and Queen. We will frame the card and display it in school for everyone to see.
Remembrance Day
This week in Haughmond we have been learning about why we observe Remembrance Day. We have found out about the symbolism of the poppy and the traditions used to remember the end of World War One. We discussed how Remembrance helps us to think of those who have been involved in all wars and Josie told us stories about her Dad and shared his medals with us. Some of the rest of us also talked about our great-grandparents who we knew had been in the military. This afternoon we finished the week making poppy suncatchers and a class poppy wreath.
Remembrance
Pupils in Upper KS2 today experienced the Royal British Legion and the National Literacy Trust in a live interactive assembly, inspiring children to explore and take part in Remembrance. This event brought together art, music, poetry, veteran interviews and more to create a unique, interactive, live-streamed experience helping students understand why we continue to remember.
We did a two-minute silence at 11am alongside thousands of pupils from other schools, who had also joined the event.
