Worksop College and Ranby House marked Remembrance Day and the fact that it was 100 years since the end of the First World War.
Year 5 students at Ranby House spent the week learning all about Remembrance Day by watching short videos about what it was like in World War 1 and how they used to live in the trenches.
Year 5 student, Alfie Todd said:
“We have also listened to a variety of war poems written by those involved in World War 1, with thoughtful music playing in the background to create a calming mood.”

Year 8 pupil, Ebony Broughton accompanied the commemoration by playing a moving rendition of 'The Last Post' on the trumpet.

Students also held a poppy cake sale, where students donated £1 for the worthy cause.
Willow Rushin said:
“We have certainly learnt a lot about the sacrifice so many made and feel grateful to all those who lost their lives to protect our country. We will remember them.”
This year is a particularly historic moment, as November 11 marked 100 years since the end of the First World War in 1918.
Year 9 Art students commemorated Remembrance Day by creating an impressive poppy installation that cascaded down the library stairs.
