Nursery children mark Remembrance Day with poppy artwork and activities
Youngsters at Little Trinity Nursery in Kidderminster explored the meaning of the occasion through creative activities, sensory play and stories
Children at a Kidderminster nursery marked Remembrance Day with a range of creative activities designed to help them understand its meaning.
Youngsters at Little Trinity Nursery took part in poppy painting, colourful collages and handprint artwork as they explored the significance of the poppy and remembered those who have served their country.
Sensory play activities also encouraged curiosity, conversation and imaginative play, while stories and age-appropriate discussions helped staff explain why Remembrance Day is observed each November.
Nursery manager Gaynor Carter said: "Remembrance Day gives us a lovely opportunity to introduce important themes such as kindness, gratitude and community in a way that is meaningful for young children.
"The children really enjoyed expressing themselves through the different activities and sharing what they had created with their friends."
She added: "We are always looking for ways to help children learn about the world around them through play and creativity. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm and hear the conversations that developed as they explored the different activities together."
