Why do we have Remembrance Day? and Animals at War

(1)
Remembrance Day: why do we have it? Is it still relevant today? How do we remember animals who died in conflict? The powerpoint shares a variety of viewpoints and encourages pupils to discuss and decide for themselves whether they feel the act of remembrance has relevance in modern times. It includes links to films of remembrance services in 1919, 1937 and 2018, as well as BBC Newsround clips. Additional remembrance powerpoints and activities support the topic, including ‘Animals at War’ which covers use of the purple poppy to commemorate animal deaths during conflict. Suitable for KS2 and above, but could be downloaded and simplified for younger pupils.
