Presentation Transcript
We are all going to make poppies, which will be used to make big wreaths. We are then going to present these on the 11th of November during the Bradford Remembrance Sunday commemoration service.
1. Collect a square board and 4 poppy petals. 2. Peel back the backing paper from the square to reveal the sticky side.
3. Keeping the sticky side up, press on a petal at a time- don t worry if there is a gap in the middle of the poppy we will cover this up soon!
4. Pick a soldier picture and cut carefully around the red circle. 5. Glue the soldier onto the black circle.
6. Next take your clear sticky back plastic, remove the back and stick this over your solider so that he is protected should it rain on Sunday. 7. Carefully cut off any excess plastic.
8. Take your black circle (this has double sided tape on the back of it) and peel off each of the strips to reveal the sticky side. 9. Stick the black circle onto the middle of the poppy petals and board. You could press gently to make sure that it is all nice and secure.
10. Once you have put your poppy together, put your hand up and an adult will come and staple your poppy to make sure everything is held into place nicely!
11. Attach your poppy onto the wreath. Our wreaths are now ready for Remembrance Sunday!
Now that you have made your poppy, have a think with your partner- how we can spread peace and kindness? On one side of your poppy outline, write the words Remember Together and on the other side write down a message that you think everyone should remember. This could be linked to World War 1 or a message on how kindness and peace can be spread.
Whilst red is a traditional colour of poppy because red poppies grew in the WW1 battlefields of Northern France, some people choose to wear other colours. The white poppy is for peace and also for remembering everyone who died during WW1 (including people who weren t soldiers). The purple poppy is for remembering the animals who were lost in war; animals such as horses, dogs and pigeons who did lots of tasks during the war.
