At our lunchtime collective worship club we talked about Remembrance in preparation for the actual collective worship next week.
We made large poppies from tissue paper to put on our collective worship board.
Cut out 4 large heart shaped pieces
Hold the petals together in a rough poppy shape by scrunching the bases
Secure the base of each petal together using a green pipe cleaner to make a stalk
Stick a black dot or button in the centre or draw on with black marker pen.
I cut out red petal shapes and each child took some from a bowl as they arrived and sat down.
We listened to Emilie Sandie’s version of Abide With Me from the Olympics Opening Ceremony and I invited them to place their petals on the card to make a cross.
We then lit a candle to represent our prayers for peace. The children decided we should put the poppy petal cross on our reflective area.
I think that this would work with any age group.
