Marking Remembrance at Llanfair Primary School

November 2024

Llanfair Primary Schools in the Vale of Glanmorgan marked Remembrance day with a whole school assembly and a Service for their Service children.

Thank you to Miss Jones, the MOD LSA at the school who shared these lovely photos and what they had been up to with us.

"Pupils were given a poppy last week to put a loved ones name on - these were then laminated and have since been put on display for all parents and children to see
• A year 6 pupil read out a Remembrance poem
• Junior pupils lay 5 decorated stones; for veterans, serving personnel, those who lost their lives, those still suffering and animals who helped in conflict
• All pupils, 19 in total, lay a poppy to remember their loved ones or men from the village
• We had a minutes silence
• MOD parents were invited and 10 parents and grandparents attended."

Ashim

"In my eyes, you have hundreds of friends in different places."

Chloe

"I’m used to moving now and mixing with the children... I’ve done it so many times, it’s just a normal thing now."

Chloe

"It's ok talking over skype and that, but sometimes you just want a hug when Dad is away."

Georgia

"I’ve enjoyed going around to lots of places around the world, it's adventurous and exciting."

Harry

"In my eyes, you have hundreds of friends in different places."

Ieuan

"My mum got a chalk board and it says how many sleeps on it with chalk, every minute it’s getting closer for him coming home."

Mia

"I don’t want him to get promoted... I want him to get promoted but I don’t want to leave."

Oliver

"I might be going to boarding school so that I don’t change schools every few years."

Ryan

"He has been away for six months and he is back for two weeks, then he goes away again."

Sianed

"My parents were in the Army. My mum is a like a nurse and my dad went to the war in Afghanistan. I actually didn’t really know what he was doing so I was like, ‘Cool Dad, go there,’ but then I found out and thought, 'Thank God he came back alive.'"

Sanjog

"He signed off last week, so he will be done by the end of this year. He’s done 24 years. I find that better because he will be around a lot. He likes watching us playing rugby, so he will get to see us more."

"I’m going to a new place entirely. They don’t know anything about me and that’s a big restart and that’s really good for me."
