The Grades 4/5 Class teacher told a moving story about her Grandfather who was seriously wounded at Vimy Ridge. The students were encouraged to write a poem or letter about Remembrance Day. Some of the students chose to write a letter home to their parents, as if they were soldiers fighting on the front, while others chose to write poems about Remembrance Day.

Flanders Field By Chelsa In Flanders Field Where poppies grow The soldiers that died lay still. They died for us For love and peace. The thought is sad. But still, we got to remember them By wearing a bright red Poppy. Poppies cover the graves Like a thick coloured blanket We really have to thank them Because they died for us.
