To commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians during WW1 each pupil stitched a felt poppy with a button which were then combined to make a large wreath. Poppies were a common sight, especially on the Western Front. They flourished in the soil churned up by the fighting and shelling. Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday, are a chance to remember not just those who fought, but what they fought for.
