    Remembrance

    9 November 2022 (by admin)

    Adventurers have been making poppy wreaths for Remembrance!

    We learned about all the different colours of Poppy. The red poppy is the most famous symbol used to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives in World War One and conflicts that followed. The purple poppy is often worn to remember animals that have been victims of war. The Black Poppy commemorates the contributions of black, African and Caribbean communities to the war effort - as servicemen and servicewomen, and as civilians. The white poppy commemorates people who died in conflict, but focuses on achieving peace and challenging the way we look at war.
