World War One - Remembrance Day. Year 5

Today in Year 5 we have been thinkg about Remembrance Day, which marks the day World War One ended, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918. On Sunday it will be100 years since the end of World War One.

Year 5 children have been writing their own poems to commemorate this day and they then copied these onto a poppy template which were then put together to create a wreath. The chlidren have been learning about what’s it was like to be a solider at war, the contribution of women to the war effort and how it affected the lives of everyday people.

The children also created their own World War One silhouette art pictures, featuring images of soldiers. These are very effective and create a dramatic image.
