School children at Hampton Vale Primary Academy pause to remember The Fallen

Children and staff at Hampton Vale Primary Academy created their own Poppy display as their poignant tribute to people who paid the ultimate sacrifice during wars.

Children from across the school have taken part in creating their own poppies, which have been brought together to form a beautiful display around the school's main entrance. Each poppy has been individually designed and coloured by the children.

The school railings have also been decorated with handmade poppies and silhouettes of soldiers, creating a lovely tribute for families and members of the local community to see as they pass by.

Throughout the week, children have been learning about the importance of Remembrance Day, why we wear poppies and why it is important to remember those who have served and sacrificed their lives for our country. It has been a great opportunity for children of all ages to come together, reflect and show their respect.

A spokesperson for the school said: “We are incredibly proud of the effort and care that the children have put into their poppies. It has been lovely to see the whole school contribute towards creating something so special, and we hope they will be enjoyed by our families and the local community.”
