Armistice Day 11/11

Armistice Day (or Remembrance Day as it is known in America) is a day to remember the end of World War 1. It is an important day to think about the importance of peace in our world, and that many people's lives were lost so we can have freedom and peace today.

Room 11 students have been reading some World War 1 stories and gaining an insight into what freedom vs war means. They are learning that war is not something to be celebrated.

At 11am on 11 November each year, people all over the world stop for two minutes of silence. The first minute is to remember those families who lost their sons and fathers. The second minute is to remember those that died during the war.

The Last Post is a piece of music that helps us to remember the soldiers that have died. The video below shows some scenes from the war.
