Remembrance day! A minutes silence. Except it's recess..

What happened to the old days of making kids take time to reflect? They are doing something over the PA here, at least someone is making an effort, I guess.

same here - just over the PA. Last year they forgot totally! I wa sin prep room having a minutes silence by myself and teacher came in and started wanting things - i totally ignored them and they then realise d-- ooops

We had an assembly at 11.00 o'clock.
I think it is important that we carry on these traditions, Lest We Forget.........

we has an assembly earlier today.
At 11am, the radio station i listened to paused, and played the last post etc, so I stopped work and had my silence.

We had a full school assembly with the Last Post and speakers from the community. I don't know if the kids understand what it is all about but we need to continue OUR traditions and not lose our history, heritage and culture.

We had assembly with 2 minutes silence whilst a staff member played the Last Post. I remember at school they would play the last post over the PA and everyone would reflect for a minute. I have pulled off the road whilst driving to observe in the past. Ours was a student run assembly and they showed great understanding about the day.

Wow, that poem brought me to tears.

beautiful poem
