St Peter\u2019s Catholic Primary School supported our local Coop Funeralcare office with a wonderful Remembrance display.\u00a0 Pupils from year 6 created the beautiful poppies that were cascading down the outside of the window.\u00a0<\/span> Out of lots of small crosses the children also created a wonderful large cross, which looks so poignant and so effective.<\/p>\n

During the Second World War Blitz, 930 people were killed in Portsmouth, 2,837 were injured and over 6,000 properties were destroyed.\u00a0 The pupils decided that it would be a lovely idea to make memory stones for each person that lost their life in Portsmouth during the Blitz.\u00a0<\/span> They painstakingly painted 930 stones and on Wednesday 10th<\/sup>\u00a0at 11.00 o\u2019clock a group of 10 pupils handed out their memory stones to the community in Cowplain.<\/p>\n

Also, some of the children wrote\u00a0Remembrance poems, which were made into scrolls ready to hand out with their memory stones.\u00a0 A selection of these were read out during the event.\u00a0 Remembrance Day gives people the chance to remember those who fought and lost their lives during the war and to honour their memory.\u00a0\u00a0It makes sure that we never forget the past, and those who died didn\u2019t die in vain. \u00a0With fewer and fewer living survivors, it\u2019s even more important than ever to remember the sacrifices these people made for our freedom.\u00a0\u00a0Teaching our children about the importance of Remembrance Day will keep the memories of these brave individuals alive now and in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I would like to personally thank Mrs Pearson, St Peter\u2019s art teacher, and Mrs Jackie Duthie at the Coop Funeralcare Cowplain, for all their hard work and support in organising and creating such a wonderful display.<\/p>\n
