Remembrance Day Poppies

This past week we have spent a lot of time discussing the importance of Remembrance Day and what the poppy represents.  We have learnt of the sacrifices that many people have made and still are making to keep our great country safe.  The poppy is a symbol that reminds us of the importance of peace.  At our Remembrance Day ceremony today we spent time remembering those who lost their lives for us.  

For Remembrance Day we used paint and pastels to illustrate what poppies would look like if you were to sit in a field and look out at them.  Our poppies are in perspective because the ones that are the closest are larger than the poppies that are further away.  They remind us that each of us can be peacekeepers.
