In Reception, we approach Remembrance Day in an age appropriate way. We watch a CBeebies animation, which depicts a rabbit’s experience of war and then happier times when peace is restored. We give thanks to the brave people, who ensured our freedom.

All of the children were involved in creating this beautiful depiction of a poppy field, filled with rabbits. We learned that we could produce various shades of green by mixing yellow and blue paint and produce light blue by adding a very small amount of blue to white. Texture was added through tissue poppies, which the children had torn (developing finger strength). We all had a go at drawing a rabbit (or two) for the field. Well done, RS: super teamwork.

We presented our artwork at the Remembrance Service in the hall today.
