REMEMBRANCE DAY
As remembrance day approached, the pupils and staff of OVPA purchased and wore poppies.
The red poppy is a symbol of both Remembrance and hope for a peaceful future. Poppies are worn as a show of support for the Armed Forces community.
On Wednesday 6 November, we paid tribute to the Armed forces & emergency services in a special assembly. We acknowledged those who lost their lives in conflict and the families who lost loved ones.
Pupils who attend organisations such as rainbows, brownies, guides, beavers, cubs, scouts, boys' brigade and girls' brigade proudly wore their uniform as a mark of respect.

In our assembly, we thought about why we have remembrance day, how we remember and the symbol of the poppy.
We had a minute of silence to remember people who died in conflict, but also to focus on achieving peace.
The Last Post
In military tradition, the Last Post is the bugle call that signifies the end of the day's activities. It is also sounded at military funerals to indicate that the soldier has gone to his final rest, and at commemorative services such as Anzac Day and Remembrance Day.
We listened to the Last Post played by a member of staff from Ark Alexandra.
The Last Post by Ms Clark.mp4
The Royal British Legion says: "There is no right or wrong way to wear a poppy. It is a matter of personal choice whether an individual chooses to wear a poppy and also how they choose to wear it.
The best way to wear a poppy is to wear it with pride."
