Rememberance at Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog

November 2024

At Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog in Denbighshire the school had a visit from a local soldier who has spent 30 years working for the army. He shared information about his work, his medals and the importance of remembering. 
  
All classes learnt more about Remembrance Day and decorated the cabin outdoors with all of their work so members of the community and families could see what had been done. 
  
Older learners also took part in the live assembly on Remembrance where they listened to stories and found out more about who we remember and why. 
  
The whole school fell silent at 11am for a 2 minutes silence. 
  
Head pupils laid a wreath at the Service of Remembrance on behalf of our whole school community.
