Throughout this week many of the children have been involved in activities to mark Remembrance Day 2018. This has included visiting the community poppy installations including the ' 100 poppies ' one of which was sponsored on behalf of the children and Portishead Childminders. We have made poppies for them to take home and share with their families and had discussions about remembering those people who died in conflicts . This was supported by watching the Remembrance film produced by cbeebies aimed at early years .
