Remembrance Day 2016, by Mr Whelan

Date: 11th Nov 2016 @ 11:43am

On 11th November at 11am we held a Remembrance Assembly so we could remember all those who have died, especially in wars. The Year 6 children had made poppy wreaths and we all listened to some poems, prayed and had a two minute silence.

We were very lucky to have Mr Murray lead our 2 minute silence by playing the 'Last Post' on the cornet. The "Last Post" is a cavalry trumpet call used in military funerals and ceremonies commemorating those who have been killed in war. He then finished the two minute silence by playing 'Reveille'. The two tunes symbolise sunset and sunrise respectively, and therefore, death and resurrection. Thank you Mr Murray!

At the end of this academic year we held a very special 100% attendance assembly - to celebrate those children who have made the excellent achievement of being in school every day for the whole year! Each of these children received a £10 gift voucher so that they could choose themselves a treat, and they were also entered into our golden ticket winner draw. Just one lucky 100% attendance child won this draw and an extra special prize! They were able to come with their family and Mr Whelan to Halfords to choose themselves their dream bike! As well as this they chose a helmet, lights, a pump and a lock! What an excellent prize for such a super achievement!!

Well done to all of our 100% attendance children - remember next year it could be you!
