This year our Armistice Week, 8th-12th November, focused on the 100th Anniversary of the Poppy - the first cloth poppies were sold in Britain on November 11th, 1921.
Pupils in S3 History classes had been busy making poppies, where were then displayed on windows across the school.
The poppies were predominantly red - which has always been a symbol of both remembrance and hope for a peaceful future, as well as for fundraising. Alongside the red poppies, there were some of the other colours which people choose to wear in accordance to their own beliefs: purple (remembering animal victims of war), white (remembering those who died in conflict with a focus to end war) and black (remembering African, Black and Caribbean communities contributions).
