Remembrance honours those who serve to defend our democratic freedoms and way of life. We unite across faiths, cultures and backgrounds to remember the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forcees community from Britain and the Commonwealth. (Taken from Royal British Legion Website)
All our schools participated in Remembrance in their own unique way. Mr Crawford attended a lovely service at Riddings Junior School which the children led beautifully and with such respect. The class names at Riddings are named after local men who died in the war and the children read their names out on a roll call. A particularly poignant part of the service was when a young Ukranian girl from year 3 who has only been with the school for 3 weeks read out a moving poem with the Head Teacher, it reinforced the message that sadly war is still happening in the world today with people giving up their lives for their country.
We are so proud of all the children who took part in Remembrance.
