Neatherd High School: Neatherd students made poppies for Remembrance Day - a report by Chloe and Hannah (Year 11) We learnt to make poppies in The Link and made these poppies as a mark of respect for the British soldiers and the people who died in the wars. 1916 was the Battle of the Somme and 420,000 died fighting for their country and for us as well. We made these poppies, because handmade poppies we think, show that you have spent time and have made an extra effort to show respect compared to the paper ones you can get. Hannah and I think highly of Remembrance Day, because we both had family members who fought in the war, and it is very special to us and our hearts. I always watch the Remembrance Day programme on television because it is special seeing all of the war veterans going down the road next to the Cenotaph, and the Cenotaph is a special place for First and Second World War army personnel. This day, November 11th, in school you had two minutes silence remembering everyone who lost their lives, and the two minutes are held as a mark of respect across the UK. Hannah and I are very privileged to have made poppies in the Link for this day, and we were both able to take our poppies, to be sold to raise funds for the British Legion, to R J Bartram & Son in Dereham who raise funds for the Legion, and do this to remember all those who died serving their country.
