Last weekend, we recognised the WWI armistice with Remembrance Day in order to commemorate those who “serve to defend our democratic freedoms and way of life” and acknowledge civilians whose lives have been lost in conflict.
In school, the library team created a display out of tissue paper poppies and also put together book recommendations about war and its effects. There was also a service held in the Chapel on Remembrance Sunday for our CCF and Old Ipswichians which included readings and hymns. The Wolsey Consort provided the music, with Niamh W playing the Last Post, and a bell tolled for each of the Old Ipswichians named on our war memorials. A wreath was also laid on behalf of the Old Ipswichians.
