Remembrance Day 2021

Armistice Day, also known as Remembrance Day, takes place on 11th November every year, marking the official ending of World War I on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918.  A two-minute silence is held to remember the people who have died in wars.  This year marks 100 years since collective Remembrance began.

Eden Park High School will be supporting the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal as usual this year.  A variety of items are being sold at Main Reception as part of the appeal.

We have lots of war themed fiction and non-fiction in the Library for you to borrow, include The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank and The Missing: the True Story of My Family in World War II by Michael Rosen.  For more suggestions, check out the history recommended reading lists and the 'wartime' genre section on Oliver, or ask your Librarians!
