Remembrance Day is a day dedicated to the memory of the members of the armed forces who have died in the line of duty since World War I. Remembrance Day is observed on 11th of November to recall the official end of World War I in 1918. This week our class watched a video about the significance of Remembrance Day. We also discussed peace and how it is important in the world.
École Assiniboine's Remembrance Day service will take place on November 10th at 10:15 am. The choir, Orff and recorder clubs will all perform as part of the celebration. The focus of our service this year is peace. All parents are welcome to attend.
During the Battle of Ypres in 1915, Canadian Lt.-Col. John McCrae was inspired to write the poem "In Flanders Fields" on sighting the poppies growing beside a grave of a close friend who had died in battle. Don't forget to wear a poppy!
