Tuesday

Remembrance Day is a special day when we stop and remember the people who fought in wars to help keep us safe and free.

It happens every year on November 11th. On this day, we think about the soldiers and helpers who worked bravely in wars a long time ago — and those who still help keep peace today.

At 11 o’clock, many people stop what they are doing and have a quiet two minutes to think and say thank you in their hearts.

People often wear a red poppy flower on their clothes. The poppy is a symbol of remembrance because these flowers grew on the battlefields after the First World War.

We remember to say thank you for the courage and kindness of all those who helped in difficult times.

• Children should never have to fight in wars.

• Countries must protect children and keep them safe during times of war.

• Grown-ups should work for peace so children can live and play safely.

Can you write some words to describe the fire and write them around the picture?

• What did the fire sound like?
• What did the fire look like?
• What did it smell like? 

We are going to use some of these words to rehearse sentences for our poem. We are going to start our sentence with 'the' and end it with an ed word. 

'The fire cracked

 Practice your sentence with your partner and we will share some with the class.  

Adaptive Teaching

Write the list of words as a group.

Allow the children to come up with the words, what does the word start with? How do we write that? Can you write it in the air?  Can we segment the word together?

Think of a word for the end of the sentence. 'The fire is... (choose a cvc word such as hot, big, red)
