Nursery honoured Remembrance Day by printing poppies to form beautiful poppy fields, strengthened our fine motor skills by threading poppies, and practiced counting by adding up to six gems to decorate them. We also watched a video following a young rabbit through the poppy fields, taking time to be quiet and reflect on the brave, kind people who fought so that we can be happy today.

From all of us at Loxdale Primary School, we hope everyone will have a peaceful Remembrance Day today ❤️ #NeverForget
