Remembrance Day at Little Lily’s Academy

At Little Lily’s Academy, we believe in helping children understand the world around them in age-appropriate, meaningful ways. This year, our little learners took part in a gentle Remembrance Day activity, creating beautiful poppy artwork to mark the occasion.

Using bright reds and greens, the children explored colour, shape, and pattern while learning about the significance of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance. The activity encouraged creativity, conversation, and reflection through simple storytelling and discussion suitable for their age group.

The final artwork was full of colour, pride, and imagination — a lovely way for the children to pay their respects while developing their artistic skills. Moments like these help us nurture curiosity, empathy, and awareness in a calm, supportive environment.
