Remembrance Day with the Royal British Legion

At 11 am this morning, 11th November 2013, we joined with our local Royal British Legion for a 2 minute silence.
Afterwards, Oak Class went into the hall and spoke to the members of the RBS.  Here are some of the photos:

Caleb, “A lady told us the Japanese were really cruel, the cruelest Army that the British fought against. They said they would tie themselves up in the trees, so you wouldn't know if you had killed them or not.”

 Pupils and members had time to talk together.  This is what Oak Class learnt:

Ali, “If they fight for their country and non-stop fighting they get a medal from the Queen.”

Kristen, “Lots of people in the Army survived and were taken back to base and got treated and cured there by the medical team.”

Islay, “During the war, when they wanted to write to their families, they had a particular letter.”

Tom, “During the Japanese war, one of the British Legion was in Japan, one out of a twenty three people, only six of them survived”.

Tabby, “You could start in the army when you are 17 years old, if some of our soldiers didn't survive, we may not be now speaking English but German or Japanese!”

 Kristen, “Lots of soldiers died, all the people who were at base, they wrote a letter saying that their family member had died in the war. They gave the soldiers’ medals to their families to remember them.”

Daniel, “I would like to fight for my country”.
