Remembering on Remembrance Day 

Our nursery children spent time learning about Remembrance Day. We watched a simple cartoon clip to help us understand what Remembrance Day is about and talked about the poppies and rabbits we spotted in the story. We also introduced the words ‘past’ and ‘now’, helping the children understand that this is something that happened a long time ago.

The children created their own special remembrance wreath using their handprints and took part in a two-minute silence to remember and thank the soldiers who helped to keep us safe.

We explored lots of independent activities too, including biscuit poppies, threading and small world play, giving the children opportunities to explore and develop their understanding in their own way.
