Remembrance in Team AC

We learnt that on Remembrance Day, we think about all of the soldiers, sailors and airmen who have fought in wars to help to keep us safe. At 11 o’clock on Remembrance Day, people stay silent for two minutes. During this silence, people think about all the men and women who have fought in wars and remember what they did for us. Poppies are flowers that help us to remember all the people that have been injured or killed in lots of different wars. People wear paper poppies to show that they are thinking about the soldiers, sailors and airmen that have fought in the wars. Buying a poppy helps to raise money to take care of servicemen and women and their families. Have you seen anybody wearing a poppy? On Remembrance Day, these poppy wreaths are placed on statues and monuments. The King lays a poppy wreath at the Cenotaph, our country’s special war memorial in London. Remembrance Day parades take place in lots of towns and cities. Men and women who have served in the military march to the monuments to lay a poppy.
​We created an image of a poppy using a collage effect. We used our cutting and design skills with mixed media including card, tissue and coloured pencils to create our colourful display
