Remembrance Day

Rainbows have been learning about Remembrance Day. They know that this is to remember soldiers and they know that some soldiers fought in the past. They know we wear poppies to show we remember the soldiers. 

Their activities this week have included developing their cutting skills to create a poppy to wear, exploring and describing different textures to create a giant poppy picture to display in school, looking at remembrance pictures and identifying the initial sounds and tracing patterns on poppy petals. Rainbows also created a collage using different materials to make poppies to display in school. They made photo frames to help remember special people and special events that had happened.

The Rainbows watched a video from CBeebies that helped them to understand remembrance day. A family of rabbits are effected by soldiers fighting and they talked about the different emotions the rabbits and other animals might feel and what happened to where they lived. The Rainbows identified emotions including happy, excited, frightened, worried, scared and sad.
