Pupils honour the fallen

All 173 children at Eastlea Primary School and Owlets Toddler Group were involved with creating a series of Remembrance tributes.

A poppy trail was created around the outside of the school featuring a variety of hand-made poppies, windmills, garlands and a giant net of  poppies which was set up beside the school entrance.

Year 6 pupils researched sixty of the people that are named on Cramlington War Memorial and looked at the records of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

A Remembrance assembly included a silence and the playing of the Last Post as well as a reading from In Flanders Fields.

Cramlington Town Councillors Christine and Norman Dunbar visited the school to see the tributes where they praised the children for creating such poignant displays.
