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.

A Tale Where Poppies Grow By Ryland In the field Where poppies grow Lies a story That you should know In the wars Brave soldiers fought At the Front Our freedom they bought The war began On goes the raid Boldly and swiftly Over enemy lines they parade Now many spirits lie In the field where poppies grow Their bodies are gone But let their courage show. In World War II And advancement they had Planes and artillery Which will conquer the bad. As in World War I Sacrificed were their lives But from their spirits New heroes arise. So on Remembrance Day Remember those who Fought for our nation Our people and you.
