Tuesday
Remembrance
Remembrance Day is a special day when we stop and remember the people who fought in wars to help keep us safe and free.
It happens every year on November 11th. On this day, we think about the soldiers and helpers who worked bravely in wars a long time ago — and those who still help keep peace today.
At 11 o’clock, many people stop what they are doing and have a quiet two minutes to think and say thank you in their hearts.
People often wear a red poppy flower on their clothes. The poppy is a symbol of remembrance because these flowers grew on the battlefields after the First World War.
We remember to say thank you for the courage and kindness of all those who helped in difficult times.

The Great Explorer
Original story by Chris Judge
Tom's dad was a famous explorer. He got lost while exploring the North Pole. Tom resolved there and then to rescue him.
First he studied his globe and found the North Pole. Then he bought a map, packed his bag and set off.
After sailing for many weeks gigantic icebergs appeared on the horizon and Tom saw lots of beautiful shapes in the ice. But soon the ice got thicker and thicker... until eventually the boat ran aground on the ice!
Fortunately Tom had a hot air balloon. But the balloon sailed too high and was hit by a passing satellite! The balloon plummeted downwards. "AAAAAHHH!" Tom screamed with fright. Luckily he had a parachute but he landed on top of a very dangerous cliff.
Undaunted he slid all the way down. But he skidded into..A GIANT WALRUS!
As Tom continued on his journey it started to snow heavily so Tom pitched his
tent. But the wind was too strong and his tent blew away! Fortunately he spotted a small cave. He crept inside but.…A GIANT POLAR BEAR LEAPT OUT!
Finally just as the sun was setting Tom spotted a familiar tent on the horizon. "Dad!" he shouted. His dad was so happy to see him. Tom took a flare from his bag and signaled for help. Luckily it was spotted by a rescue helicopter. Tom told his dad about the great adventures that he'd had on the way to rescue him.
"We will call you The Great Explorer from now on," said his dad proudly when they were safely home. "I wonder where our next adventure will take us?"
Look at the images, think of as many similarities and differences as you can.
Think about:
- appearance
- what they do
- where they might be found
