Sowing of Poppy Seeds

8 November 2013 (by Carol Sambrook)

On Friday 8th November, 2013 our year 5 children went to Emstrey Crematorium to help with the sowing of a commemorative Poppy Field for the 100th year anniversary of the start of the 1st World War in 2014

The children had a small service and were given a commemorative card with the following poems: Poppy: Poppy we are but children small We are too little to do it all Children you may do your part Love each other is how you start Play without fighting Share your games and toys Be kind and thoughtful . To all girls and boys. Remembrance Day: We wear a poppy On Remembrance Day And at eleven We stand and pray Wreaths are put Upon a Grave As we remember Our Soldiers brave.
