    Stories Behind the Poppy

    Years 4, 5 and 6 ·

    On the 10th November 2026, children in Years 4, 5 and 6 took part in Stories Behind the Poppy: Remember Together, a 45-minute live online workshop led by Big Ideas.

    Inspired by In Flanders Fields, the poem by Canadian army doctor John McCrae, the session explored the stories of Canadian soldiers from the two World Wars who are buried in the UK. The workshop introduced ways to research the people remembered in local communities, alongside creative ways to commemorate their lives.
