Haughton School

A group of our older children walked up to Madeley and attended the Schools Remembrance Service at the War Memorial. They laid a wreath of remembrance that they had created in school.

We are incredibly proud of the respect, maturity and kindness shown by all the children who took part in the service.

Everyone else in school paused for a peaceful two-minute silence at 11:00am to reflect and remember.

Well done to everyone for marking this important day so beautifully.

To support our learning about Remembrance, we were delighted to welcome Harrison’s mum into school to talk to the children about Harrison’s dad and his career in the RAF.

The children enjoyed looking at RAF artefacts, medals and photographs, including pictures of Harrison’s dad taking part in the Remembrance parade in London over the weekend. It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to learn more about service, sacrifice and remembrance from a personal perspective.

A huge thank you for taking the time to visit us and share your experiences. The children were fascinated and thoroughly enjoyed the session.

The children also created a beautiful poppy display to mark Remembrance, which they were very proud of.

Well done, everyone.
