Remember it's November

This page was written by Ben, Chloe, Dylan, Lauren, Kieran, Maisie, Megan and Ruth, who are all from VIP Childcare at Ings Resource Centre.

Red Arrows

Some of us went to watch the Red Arrows at the Freedom Festival at the Marina in September. We thought they were brilliant. The red, white and blue smoke reminded us of fireworks as they flew through the sky. Dylan would like to fly a red arrow one day and we all hope they come back to Hull again soon.

Remembrance Sunday

This takes place on 8th November this year. It is always the nearest Sunday to the 11th. The Queen, the Prime Minister and other important people lay wreaths (rings of poppies) at the London cenotaph (a large war memorial to those who died in world wars one and two). Everybody holds a minutes silence at 11am. There is also a Cenotaph in Hull, on Ferensway, where people gather to remember those who lost their lives.

Winners

In August we asked you to design an adventure playground. The winner is Eleanor Dobson aged 9 and the runner-up is Sadie Nichols aged 4 both will receive their prize soon.
Thanks to all who entered.
