Year 3 commemorated Remembrance Day this year by finding out facts about Remembrance Day for homework. We also fell silent with the rest of the school for two minutes at 11 o’clock and discussed the importance of remembering those who had fallen during wars.
Anish discovered a poem called : ‘In Flanders Fields’ written by a soldier to remember his friend. He has written it for us below:
Wow, I think that Anish did really some good research for our homework!
Which website did you use?
GOOD WORK!
I really enjoyed Remembrance Day.
Well done Anish, for showing us this poem.
I really like your post.
Keep up the good work!!
I love your poem Anish.
YOU DID GREAT!
I really enjoyed writing my poem.
Great poem, Anish. Well done!
Lovely hand writing Anish.
Rudyard Kipling lost his son, John (called Jack) aged just 18 at the Battle of Loos.
He wrote this poem… it always make me cry: “Have you news of my boy Jack?”
Not this tide.
“When d’you think that he’ll come back?”
Not with this wind blowing, and this tide.
“Has any one else had word of him?”
Not this tide.
For what is sunk will hardly swim,
Not with this wind blowing, and this tide.
“Oh, dear, what comfort can I find?”
None this tide,
Nor any tide,
Except he did not shame his kind —
Not even with that wind blowing, and that tide.
Then hold your head up all the more,
This tide,
And every tide;
Because he was the son you bore,
And gave to that wind blowing and that tide!
That’s a very nice poem about Remembrance Day Anish!
It was really nice to read Anish’s poem. It was really good and interesting to read!
Thanks for all the comments on my poem ! It took a lot of time
I love Remembrance Day …
