REMEMBRANCE DAY AT MARE NOSTRUM

Students of Year 11 (bilingual ) and Year 10 at IES Mare Nostrum have done a series of activities to commemorate Remembrance day . Their project on World War I is displayed in the hall of the school. It covers aspects such as : - causes of the conflict; - countries involved; - life at the trenches; - the role of women in the war; - main battles; - the war in the colonies; - consequences;

This morning they have attended an Assembly where they have heard a brief but interesting talk on mustard gas. Then they have recited "In Flander´s Fields" and some other poems in French and English with war as the central theme. The students have worn a red poppy they have made themselves. After that, one pupil has played The Last Post, and, at eleven o´clock, we all have kept a two-minute silence. To finish the act, music students played a tune with their instruments while year 10 students were singing "See the Poppies". Once again, many thanks for your kind collaboration.
