Year 3 have worked exceptionally hard this week and have had some fantastic discussions about remembrance, gratitude and what we can do to help those who help us.
The children all made poppies to create the silhouette of the Last Tommy and Nurse Tina. The children learn that The Last Tommy was a way to remember the soldiers of the First World War which was when Remembrance Day as we know it originated from. Nurse Tina was a representation of all the NHS and military nurses/ doctors/ staff and anyone else involved. The children were told of Corporal Tina Maddams, a nurse who has served abroad as well as undertook multiple roles within the NHS. As the festival of remembrance on Saturday night (BBC) highlighted, the partnership between the NHS and the military services has been vital throughout the pandemic. The children and staff are immensely grateful and thankful for all military and emergency service workers.
The children also designed medals for NHS workers after seeing some of Corporal Maddams medals.
