School Council members, led by Y1 teacher Mrs Smith, reached out to the school community and asked them to bring in the bottom parts of plastic bottles. Each class then spent time painting and constructing just under 400 bottles creating a wonderful sea of poppies.

The red poppies are a symbol of remembrance for the soldiers that fought and died in the war. The display also includes a white poppy symbolising both remembrance for all victims of war and hope for a peaceful future, as well as a purple poppy to remember all of the animals that died in the war.

School council members collectively said: "Our poppies help remember the soldiers who died in the war. It shows we care. We love the different colours and we think the fact that we put a purple poppy out is really important to remember not just the people, but the animals that died in the war too. We love the amount of poppies we have managed to put together and we have all helped to work together. It is our memorial."
