Why do we wear poppies?

This week we have learnt about Remembrance Day and why we wear poppies. We learnt that it is all about paying our respects to soldiers who have fought to keep us safe. We also learnt about where all the money goes that we spend on poppies. 
On Friday we took part in a special assembly, we listened to a poem and held a two minute silence. In the afternoon we all made our own poppies.
