Remembrance Day was marked with heartfelt reflection at St Aidan’s Catholic Primary in Wallsend, where pupils, staff and Year 6 parents gathered for a special Celebration of the Word.
Led by the school’s Year 6 Faith in Action Group, the service included thoughtful readings, prayers, and a two-minute silence in tribute to those who have served.
“We observed the two-minute silence and remembered those who had died in wars and gave service to their country,” said Year 6 Teacher Maria Nicholson.
“We chose to share the Word from John 13 34-35, where we are taught to love one another.“We then lit candles and prayed for forgiveness, peace, and healing, and made a commitment to live responsibly and serve faithfully.”
The commemorative activities also continued beyond the service and into the classrooms at the school, which is part of the Bishop Bewick Catholic Education Trust.
“Each class took away ‘The Poppy Prayer’ for their classroom prayer table,” added Mrs Nicholson.
