Remembrance Day Poppy Template
A template to use to make a poppy for Remembrance Day.
Cut out each of the pieces of the poppy. Colour the petal section red and then use a split pin to secure the pieces together.
The red poppy is the emblem of remembrance. We wear the red poppy in memory of our soldiers who laid down their lives in Flanders’ Fields during World War I. It is also a symbol of respect and camaraderie between the soldiers of all Allied nations and for the land in Northern France, that was a common battleground.

This is great. Although, it would be nice if the kids knew the difference between Anzac day and Remembrance day.

Hi Charu,
Thank you for your comment. I agree it is very important for children to know the difference between Anzac Day and Remembrance Day. This would make a great discussion with your class or possibly on a whole school assembly.
Kind regards
Jill
