Creative Writing

At the end of the First World War a day of commemoration was created to remember the dead. War memorials exist in nearly every city, town and village to record the names of the men who died in the First World war. Every year at the Remembrance Service, poppy wreaths are laid there. Read through the Power points to gain a better understanding of this before completing the creative task.

Make a poppy out of different materials you have at home.

Write down set by set instructions on how you make your poppy. There is a power point to help you recap the features of instructions and a list of time conjunctions to support you if needed.

2. Then cut out one black circle and make a small hole in the middle.

3. After than snip around the circle to make a fringe effect.

4. When the cotton bud is dry, put the end of the stick through the hole in the black circle.

6. In the end put the cotton bud stick through the hole in the petal and push up to meet the black circle.
