Every 11th of November we commemorate the end
of the First World War. The nearest Sunday to the
11th is Remembrance Sunday, where we
remember all soldiers who have died.

We wear poppies to
remember the soldiers who
gave their lives.
Do you know why poppies are a
symbol of remembrance???

We’ve been selling poppies in school to raise money. We also made poppy wreaths that we laid at the town’s war
memorial.

‘‘Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs And towards our distant rest began to trudge. And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind…’But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind…’
War inspired lots of poetry. First World War poets, such as Wilfred Owen wrote about their
experiences.
