Guest Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Hi, Need to do a lesson plan for Remembrance Day for a reception class. I have an activity in mind but I am unsure at how to approach the background behind the poppy. I am a student teacher and I am being observed. Any advice will be appreciated.

Fredbear Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Hi not sure if this any use but there is a website called www.woodlandsschoolkent.school/uk that may have some simple ideas, or google festivals and celebrations. Happy hunting and good luck with your observation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 My husbands great grandfather was killed in the first world war aged 34. I have a photo of him in uniform with his wife and 3 children. I show the children the photograph on the IAW and we discuss the family and their names, that the dad is a soldier and talk about how the little girl is feeling etc. I then explain that unfortunately he was killed because being a soldier is dangerous. It really all comes from the children and where they take it and each year is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 We have a Magic Grandad book that helps them understand the basics including the origin of the poppy. They then think of something they remember (happy or sad) and draw it on a poppy leaf that we put together to make a display. It is always very popular and has sometimes raised valuable topics for discussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
