Rememberance Day
We remembered them.
Yesterday all the children observed a two minute silence for Remembrance Day.
The children learned a song of remembrance as well as making poppies. At the lower site children help their poppies during the silence and then put them in the grass outside our Year 2 area.
The song we sang is called 'Remember' and the lyrics are below.
Remember
Remember, remember, those who fought and fell so we could be free.
The sacrifice they made; so brave, with valour their lives they gave.
Gone, but they live on in memory.
So bow your head now, standing still in silence we will all pray,
To learn and live in peace and justice on Armistice Day.
November, November, the clock strikes ten and then, eleven will bring
The silence of respect for those that history can’t forget.
Now for them a song of thanks we sing.
So bow your head now, standing still in silence we will all pray,
To learn and live in peace and justice on Armistice Day.
(Part 1) So bow your head now, standing still
(Part 2) So bow your head,
(Part 1) in silence we will all pray,
(Part 2) we will all pray,
(Part 1) to learn and live in peace and justice
(Part 2) to learn and live
(All) on Armistice Day.
