My holiday in Spain was amazing and when I got there I got to see papa and carol. I got to see Murphy, Casey and Molly too. Molly is a new dog and is a small tiny one which is a mix between something but were not really sure yet. I went in the pool every day and on the third day everyone jumped in. The next two days me Ewan (my brother) me papa and dad were chopping trees down while mum and Carol were sat outside and chatted. Me and Ewan took turns driving the tractor.

You must always remember poppy day, it’s a time to say thank you to the people that went to war and the people that helped to save the day. People wonder, why do we have to wear a poppy? Well it is to tell other people that you care about the people in the war and you wear a poppy in pride and will never forget why they went to war.

Maybe someday you will wear a poppy like your friends or your family because now you know that wearing a poppy is a brilliant thing to do.

During the Second World War one of the most dangerous jobs was to be a rear gunner. It was the rear gunner’s job to defend his aircraft from any enemy attacking from the rear.

This was so important because the pilot had to fly the plane and look out for the enemy in front of him but had to trust his rear gunner to keep the aircraft safe from enemy attack at the rear.

My father knew a real life rear gunner on a Lancaster. He remembers stories told by him. His name was John Cox a quietly spoken gentleman.

Olivia #11 Remembering

I woke up this morning, suddenly realising it was Remembrance Day so I jumped out of bed and got dressed. Next I went through my box of things and grabbed my big red poppy. After that I searched for a safety pin but I couldn’t find one so I used a paper clip. 5 minutes later I turned on the television and put on Newsround. The women on the news talked about poppies and how the soldiers in World War One died for Britain. As I walked to school I could see people wearing Remembrance Poppies at the school gate.

“Why do people wear poppies this time of year?” I heard a woman say.

So I butted in and said, “the reason that we wear poppies is so that you can remember the soldiers that fought in world war one and world war two and all of the other men and women who lost their lives fighting too. We also show our respect by having two minutes silence on the 11th day of the 11th of the month of the 11th hour.”

So that is why we wear poppies.

The soldiers fought in poppy fields when they were at war.

Lewis #11 Remembering

All those people who died in the war and got killed by all the guns, cannons and all the blood. It would have been a horrible sight with all of the blood and all the dead bodies in the battlefield; I wouldn't want to experience because of all the guns and cannons. When the war was over all the poppies grew on the battlefield. I wish World War 1 and 2 never happened, they said that World War 1 was the end of war.

If you wear a poppy the red is the blood and the black is the bullet.

Jake #11 Remembering

As I sat in the aircraft carriers seats, my heart pounded as the carrier slowly landed in the soft smooth soil I readied my rifle, pistol, knife and a helmet to protect my head. I quickly ran out of the carrier. I smelt a strong burning smell in the air. There was smoke all around me. I saw faint shadows of men running as they were shooting their guns at the enemy. I heard men shouting and screaming for their lives. I also heard gun shots flying through the black smoke filled air.

 “Grandad, wake up!” I awoke. I remembered!

Finlay #11 Remembering

Remembrance Day takes place on November the 11th. November is the time of the year when we wear a red poppy in memory of those who sacrificed their lives for us during wars. The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month marks the signing of the armistice, on the eleventh of November, to signal the end of the world war one. At eleven am on 11th November 1918 the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare. It was named Remembrance Day in the terrible, fighting World War 2!

Neizan #11 Remembering

On the 11th of November it is the celebration of poppy day when people all over the world do a poppy assembly to say that you care about all of the people that died in the wars. We wear poppies because of the solders that fought in the war.

Wearing a poppy shows people that you care about all of those that died and were wounded in the battle or wars. Poppies are also worn because people have had family in the war, or because a friend has had a person in their family and relatives in the war.

Remembrance Day

We wear poppies every the 11th of November to celebrate and remember the caring men that fought to death for us. We will always remember every single one forever in our hearts. We call the 11th of November Remembrance Day.

We call it remembrance day because we have to remember all the strong caring men fighting for our country. We are all the most grateful people in the world. We are thankful for all of them and wish we could bring them back and thank them. Rest in peace soldiers and thank you for everything you did.

Swaying poppies make us remember the time the soldiers were fighting for their life time. The people who died by guns, cannons and also bombs. The red represents the blood and the black represents the bullet wound. Everyday poppy day I remember the time of my Nan and me because my Nanny Mavis who used to be in the World War 1 and 2. The kind generous people who were willing to fight in the army. The memory of the army and blood and people who fought in the places and didn't die. That’s what we remember on that day.

Joshua #11 Remembering

The thing that I remember most is when I went on holiday and I was chased by a huge swan. We think we were near its nest or it wanted food. Me and my sister had to run in as fast as we could. I had to dive inside are lodge and shut the lodge door. My mum took lots of pictures of the swan taping against the glass. It took a long time for the swan to go away. When the swan went we throughout lots of biscuits just in case the swan was still there. I was nervous.

Talia #11 Remembering

Once when I went on holiday not so long ago me and my family went on holiday to a place called Kelling Heath. One day me and my brother went on our bikes to explore. We went riding down really narrow paths, on each side there was a long line of very prickly bushes. I hoped I wouldn't fall into them but unfortunately I did and it was particularly painful. An hour later I had about one hundred dots on my left leg and fifty on my left arm. But now I think it is very funny plus painful!

Lettia #11 Remembering

I was walking down the street to find that a poppy field was close by, so I walked up to pay my respects. The next morning I found out that the service was about the soldiers that died in the war. There was a man playing the trumpet, the lovely tune went on and on. Near the end, one of our teachers pulled a rope and down came millions of poppies. I will never forget that day when I saw that poppy field. The poppies are to remember the brilliant soldiers that died in the horrible war.

Romola #11 Remembering

Going on holiday to Singapore was one of my best experiences of my life. With my family to make it a holiday to remember we all went to a theme park called universal studios. We went to see which ride we wanted to go on we went on lots of exciting rides and one of the rides I remember the most was called the mummy. The mummy sounded like a fun ride but actually it was a scary ride. I was very scared and sat next to my mum, the ride started and we whizzed round and round the track.

Ruby #11 Remembering

Going on holiday was my best experience of my life because I can remember everything. It was awesome it was always sunny and the people are so polite to you. I met two waiters called Seed and Mishmish they were always very kind. I went to Egypt it was amazing. I didn't meet a lot of English people but I met one she was called Jessica and her mischievous little sister was called Emily she was adorable and so cute I love her. They were all very kind. I love Egypt it is awesome. I loved it.
