STUDENTS from across Worcester paid their respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the First World War and other conflicts with a series of events.
Talented teenagers at Christopher Whitehead Language College and Sixth Form were among those to remember the fallen with a creative project to pay tribute to those who gave their lives.
As part of their Citizenship Day in September, year seven Design and Technology students created these poppies using wood, paper and fabric. These were then fixed on the ‘100’ Centenary sign which has been displayed in St John’s Church for the local community.
The sign was returned and displayed at the school’s annual Remembrance service, reflecting on Armistice and the sacrifices which were made.
Head of design technology Emma Beasley said: “This project has been a wonderful edition to our curriculum. Our students have learnt the importance of remembrance and created a beautiful display of hope for the future.”
“In addition, our year eight students are busy making metal poppies which accompany the ‘100’ Centenary sign in their Design Technology; Product Design lessons.
Students from Bishop Perowne CE College took part in a Remembrance service to mark the centenary of the end of the First World War.
Alan Smith, ex-serviceman and Bishop Perowne’s site manager, laid a wreath on behalf of the school and year eight student Ben Fazey played The Last Post.
In addition to the service, the school unveiled a display to commemorate 100 years since warfare ceased, which was created using 100 poppies given by students.
