The Remembrance Assembly: Why We Wear Poppies
Why do we wear poppies? A calm, respectful whole-school assembly that tells the story of the poppy — from John McCrae’s In Flanders Fields to the Poppy Appeal — and who we remember, including Commonwealth service and the animals of the world wars. It ends with a practised silence, Lest We Forget, and an optional reflection or prayer suitable for faith and non-faith settings.
What’s included- 20-slide PowerPoint to project in the hall.
- Presenter script (editable Word + PDF): slide-by-slide words to say, presenter tips and interactive moments.
- Suggested discussion questions for during the assembly and follow-up in class.
- An optional closing reflection.
Audience: Whole school, KS1 and KS2 (ages 5–11)
