Remembrance day

 They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning


We will remember them.

To mark Remembrance day, we walked down to the cenotaph, arriving just before 11am. Year 6  children did readings including In Flanders Fields by John Mccrae and The Kohima Epitaph.

When you go home, tell them of us and say,

For your tomorrow, we gave our today.


At 11am, we listened to the last post and held a 2 minute silence.


A 6 child laid the wreath and, to finish, we all joined in to sing Kum ba ya.

Enjoying a welcome snack break, we listened and watched out for curlews, skylarks, blackbirds, buzzards and crickets.  We spotted many wild flowers too.

Adventurous activity 1: Let's try abseiling

Image
For our first activity, we headed back towards Taddington and the Monsal Trail at Millers Dale - familiar territory for us.

We listened carefully before getting our harnesses on.  The instructor checked we were all safely buckled up and ready to go. Hmm...some slightly worried looks.  Here we go. Who's brave enough to go first? The bridge over the River Wye is 80 feet high and the first challenge is to climb over the railings.  We did it!  Now we can relax.
