Remembrance

This week Crockenhill have marked Remembrance Day in a number of ways.

On Sunday 8th November, Mrs Dodd, Mrs Bunch and Miss Magda attended the Crockenhill Village Remembrance service, along with members of our School Council, to lay a wreath on behalf of the school alongside other community groups and local families.   Many of our pupils were also at the service wearing their Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Beavers, Cubs or Scouts uniforms.

The next day, the whole school walked to the village memorial for our annual Remembrance assembly.  Once we arrived at the memorial, all pupils and staff gathered around whilst Mrs Bunch led the assembly.  We heard about local people that had been affected by the war, why we remember each year and wear poppies.  Year 2 laid the poppies that they had made on the memorial and we all sang Wear a Poppy Today and the National Anthem.  

On Wednesday 11th November, we marked Remembrance Day with a one-minute silence at 11am.
