A Poppy is to Remember 

Art – Make your own poppy. (How to pictures in image gallery-have fun creating)

Draw 4 large circles and 1 small circle. Color the 4 large circles red and the small circle black. Cut out the circles and glue or tape them together to make your own paper poppy. You can put this poppy in your window or on your fridge to show you remember. 

Writing – Remembrance Day is about remembering the sacrifices made by many so that we could have peace. What does it mean to have peace? Peace means a time without fights or war, a time of calm and quiet. A fun writing or discussion you can have with your family is creating a Recipe for Peace. Example: 2 cups of kindness...What would you add to your recipe?
