Kidderminster Nursery Remembers with Poppies and Pictures

Children at Little Trinity Nursery in Kidderminster marked this year’s Remembrance Day with vibrant artwork and a selection of creative remembrance crafts.

Every child joined in, making their own paper windmills, poppy pictures, and colourful drawings.

Nursery Manager Gaynor Carter said: “We believe it’s important that children learn about a wide range of topics and ideas during their time at Little Trinity. Every child, no matter their age, was able to use their creativity to design their poppies, talk about colours and materials, and share what they had made. These activities also encouraged conversations about families, communities, and how people’s lives can be very different.”

As part of their learning, the children talked about the meaning of Remembrance Day, also known as Armistice Day, and why it is observed. They learned that it marks the end of the First World War when, at 11:00 am on the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, the armistice between the Allies and Germany was signed.

Added Gaynor: “We also took time to recognise those parents and family members who have served in the armed forces or worked in emergency services. Their dedication and sacrifices remind us of the importance of community, courage, and care - values we aim to share with the children every day.”
