Children at Partou Gingerbread House Day Nursery and Pre-school in South Croydon marked Remembrance Day by making their own handmade poppies as a special tribute to honour those who lost their lives in war and all who have served. The children’s creations have been displayed along the nursery pathway, providing a meaningful and colourful display for their families and the local community to see.
Jessica Pais, Partou Gingerbread Senior Deputy Manager, said: “This was an age-appropriate activity to introduce the importance of remembrance, kindness and gratitude. “It also helped the children to understand how we can pay respects to those who made sacrifices for others. “They should feel very proud of what they produced. “The poppies have attracted a lot of positive attention and comment from visitors and passers-by.”
Gemma Chaplin, Partou Regional Childcare Director, said: “Well done to the children at Gingerbread House for creating such thoughtful and fitting Remembrance Day tributes. “They underline the wonderful community-based values at the nursery.”
