Yesterday, Years 5 and 6 took part in a poppy planting activity at Beamish Hall Hotel to remember the sacrifices of fallen soldiers. Kerry from the hotel explained how the mud of the fields on northern France was thrown up by bombs in World War I, which allowed poppies to grow.
We then scattered the seeds and put soil on them. We hope to found that they grow creating a red carpet and a reminder of the soldiers' sacrifices.
We are Year 6 at Tanfield Lea Community Primary School, a primary school in County Durham who want to broaden our horizons and to show the world what we have to offer. We are using this blog to explore web design, write creatively and as a wider audience for the class' talents!
We are very keen for links with other schools, both in the UK and internationally. Please contact us via the comments boxes!
Our topic for the Autumn term is the Normans, looking at the architecture, sources and impact of the Norman Conquest of Britain.
