Remembering and Reflecting – A Visit to St James’ Church
As part of our learning around Remembrance Day, pupils from KS3 visited St James’ Church today to pay their respects to the soldiers who lost their lives during both World Wars.
Having been exploring the theme of war poetry in English lessons, pupils took the opportunity to share their own work by leaving their poems and handmade poppies at the church as a mark of remembrance and respect.
During the visit, pupils also had the opportunity to explore the church, learn more about its surroundings and take a walk up into the tower to see the clock and bells.
It was a lovely opportunity for pupils to bring their classroom learning to life, reflect on the sacrifices made by others and understand the importance of remembering those who fought for our freedom.
We are incredibly proud of the respect, maturity and thoughtfulness shown by our pupils throughout the visit. ❤️
