We have been commemorating Armistice Day at The Grove Academy, learning about the significance of this day and holding a two-minute silence in remembrance. Following our silence, and after reading some famous poems about World War One ("In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae and "Ode of Remembrance" by Laurence Binyon), some of 5R wrote ten-minute poems on the same theme.
"Poppies", by James
The soldiers are dying
The civilians are crying.
We remember them
We cared for them
They fought against their foe
Against their woe
The poppies grow in the field
The families' feelings and sadness concealed
The poppies are red
The blood was too
"Remember", by Alfie
Remember them,
Remember them.
Side by side,
Nowhere to hide.
Country duty,
Cheating age
Enemy rage
Remember them,
Remember them.
World wars to present,
Remember the 11th of the 11th.
