Poppy Day - History Year 9

 As we have been explaining this term, Poppy Day marks the day WW1 ended, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918.

A two-minute silence is held at 11am to remember the people who have died in wars.

Remembrance Sunday is also marked each year, this falls on the second Sunday in November.

Here you have an online newspaper article about 2020's Poppy Day
