Remembrance Day

November 11, 2012 by Kate Leave a Comment

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month has a special significance in the post-war years. The moment when hostilities ceased on the Western Front and it became universally associated with the remembrance of those who had died in the war. 

LEST WE FORGET

I always feel it is my duty, simple as a fellow human being, to respect and honour those who were involved in war and share the importance of the incredible sacrifice, courage and bravery of so many. 

It is because of this that I am sharing a great activity that you may wish to do with your children. It is a simple poppy wreath. You don’t need many items, simply a sheet of black and red felt, a paper plate, sticky or masking tape. 

Cut out a poppy shape from the red felt, a circle of black felt for the middle and 
attach using double sided tape. 

Cut out the middle of a paper plate and begin attaching your poppies, again with double sided tape. 

LEST WE FORGET

You (or your child) might also like to attach a poppy to a basic headband a show 
your support for Remembrance Day 

Thank you.
