Remembrance Sunday: helping children learn, and remembering the fallen

This Remembrance Sunday will take place on Sunday 8 November 2020. We're encouraging Nottinghamshire residents to take part in a two minute silence on their doorsteps at 11am.

If you have young children, getting them involved in craft activities or baking could be a good way to engage them, and get them thinking about the poppy and what it means. Some ideas below:

• Remembrance Day water poppy crafting
• Remembrance Sunday: Honey And Oatmeal Cookies recipe
• Remembrance Day potato piglet recipe

The Royal British Legion has some resources to help children learn about remembrance: The Royal British Legion: teaching remembrance

• The Poppy Appeal
• 11 things you might not know about the poppy
