🌹 Remembrance Day 🌹
Today, our Year 6 pupils and staff walked to the Cenotaph in Hedon to pay their respects and remember those who have given their lives in service to others.
Back at school, we joined together in a two-minute silence, taking time to reflect and remember.
Our thoughts turned to the words of In Flanders Fields by John McCrae:
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
We will remember them. ❤️🌹
