Remembrance - year 2 visit the War Memorial

We always celebrate Remembrance Day at Jesson's with a two minute silence, and a reading of "For the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon.
This year Year 2 made special wreaths and took one to Dudley's War Memorial.
Another of their wreaths hangs on the cross in school, and the third is on a display.

              It was a very solemn occasion.
Children from different countries, creeds and beliefs stood silently remembering those who have died in wars.
We hope the children will always remember the experience, and the reason behind it all.
