Remembrance Day (Poppy Day) is observed on 11 November to recall the end of hostilities of First World War on that date in 1918. Hostilities formally ended 'at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month', In the UK the main observance is Remembrance Sunday held on the Sunday nearest to 11 November (this year it is Sunday 8th November).
There is a display of fiction and non-fiction in the Library (room F27). Please see Mrs Aitken if you would like to borrow any of these books.
Everything is very different this year and there will be no organised bonfires or firework displays. Instead why not find out why we light bonfires and have fireworks on the 5th of November by staying indoors, keeping warm and reading a book?
