Today in Year 3 we thought about why we have a charity and day to recognise Children in Need. We connected this to our rights and worship to connect this to our learning and values in school.

We made a pledge to always help others who are less fortunate than ourselves. We signed this with a fingerprint to make Pudsey Bear spotty, as this is the theme for Children in Need 2023.

We have looking at Article 38:

‘You have the right to protection and freedom from war. Children under 15 cannot be forced to go into the army or take part in war.’

On Friday, Year 5 stood for a two-minute silence to remember those who have fought in wars to give us all the right of freedom. We thought about what the word ‘sacrifice’ meant and learnt about why we have a national Remembrance Day on 11th November each year. It was at 11 o’clock, on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 that World War I came to an end.

We then coloured in poppies which are used on Remembrance Day to remember the ultimate sacrifice that soldiers made fighting for their country in World War 1 and in other conflicts.
