The Prep School gathered outside for two minutes silence at 11am on Wednesday 11th November to mark Armistice Day. A wreath was then laid on the school's Memorial in the Chapel Garden by Millie M, Head Girl and Henry H, Head Boy, accompanied by Mr Newton.

In Pre-Prep, children also gathered for two minutes silence and took to arts, crafts and baking to commemorate the day. 

Nursery made Poppies to take home, while Reception created a wonderful Remembrance Day display in Pre-Prep and decorated poppy biscuits. Year 1 discussed the meaning of the day, the making of the poppies and where the monies go and who the veterans are, and Year 2 painted pictures using the iconic soldier silhouette for inspiration and collated them into a hallway display. 

More photos are available for parents to view on the Parent Portal.

Year 2 also talked about Jour de l’Armistice in their French lesson and made calligrammes of poppies and cornflowers. They learnt about how in France, a cornflower (le bleuet) is worn on Armistice Day, rather than a poppy, as French soldiers were historically known as ‘les bleuets' due to their blue uniforms.
