In R2L this morning, our activities were all based around the meaning and the significance of wearing a poppy at this time of year.
First of all, we listened to a story by Hilary Robinson and Martin Impey entitled “Where the poppies now grow.” This is a beautifully illustrated story, told in rhyme, which tells the tale of two best friends who go from small boys in the countryside to men at war.
We then used the story as the inspiration for our paintings to commemorate the bravery of the fallen soldiers from the First World War.
We hope that you like them!
