On 11th November, Cobalt Class went down to the Exton War Memorial to share in the village Act of Remembrance. This annual event is a great opportunity for the school to join with the local community to remember those who have died in warfare from the surrounding area. 

 

After the reading of the names on the war memorial, children from the school shared poems they had written, before we all took part in a two minute silence. Wreaths and posies were then laid at the bottom of the war memorial. 

 

This year was particularly poignant for our year 5/6 children, as they are currently studying World War II. 

 

Back at school, our younger children took part in their own silence, using the BBC Act of Remembrance film created for younger children as their starting point.
