A special Remembrance Assembly was
held on Wednesday morning to commemorate Armistice day,
particularly remembering those in our own community who have suffered
loss. Poppy wreaths, which were made by the pupils, were laid
whilst the pupils sang a memorial song and kept those people
affected by war in their thoughts. Amongst the traditional red
poppies, a blue wreath was laid by one of our French Ambassadors.
The Bleuet de France (Cornflower) was adopted by France to commemorate
Armistice Day, as they were - along with poppies- the only flowers that still
grew on the various battlefields.
Mud stained clothes and bleary eyes,
endless fields and cold, grey skies.
Running, fighting, marching on,
soon, most of these men would be all gone.
Flanders Field is where they lie,
and in our hearts they'll never die.
Now the poppies we wear tell a story
of how these men brought home glory.
