Wellbeing Forest School – Remembrance Day – 11/11/26

Both groups participated in sessions which linked to Remembrance Day. Children began by talking about poppies, why they were important and the colours we could see on them. The younger group were then tasked with finding the colours we needed (red, black, green) to make our own poppies out of natural resources. Despite the cold start to the day, pupils found everything they needed and created a field of poppies on a tarp, thinking carefully about size and perspective. Older pupils used coloured string, wool and scissors to weave poppies across two sticks shaped as a cross to initially add to our field of poppies, then take home or leave in the school grounds as a permanent reminder of the ultimate sacfrice soldiers make to ensure our country remains safe.
