The children at Brighstone Preschool have been learning about Remembrance Day and why this special occasion is an important time to remember and reflect.
Throughout the week, our little learners have enjoyed a range of creative activities inspired by the poppy, exploring its colours and meaning. They made their own beautiful poppies using playdough and sponge painting, creating some wonderful artwork along the way.
On Remembrance Day, the children wrapped up warm and walked to St Mary's Church in Brighstone, where they joined Brighstone Primary School and members of the local community for the Remembrance parade.
The children joined in the two-minute silence, taking part in this special moment of remembrance.
We were especially proud to hear such lovely comments from local villagers about the children's behaviour. From sitting beautifully on the bench to walking carefully together, holding hands and giving friendly waves, they were wonderful ambassadors for our preschool.
A huge well done to all our children! You made us very proud, and it was lovely to share such a meaningful occasion with our village community. ❤️
Lest we forget.
