Remembrance Day is an important date in the calendar and it is very important for children to learn a little about its meaning, even at an early age.
This type of learning is a very important part of our Personal, Social and Emotional Development and our British Values curriculum as well as helping the children to have a better knowledge and understanding of the world and important events in history.
This two-minute BBC children’s animation is a gentle introduction to Remembrance Day. It follows a rabbit playing in a meadow that gradually becomes a First World War battlefield and emotes the feelings of war rather than visually depicting it.

Fun in the mud kitchen!
The children in the nursery, enjoy exploring our mud kitchen. The open-ended nature of mud play encourages creative thinking and allows children to freely create without fear of making mistakes. It also develops children's self confidence and sense of self.
If you have any old pots, pans and utensils, we would gratefully receive them for our kitchen!
