Primary School" --- # Little Hands, Big Hearts: Our Remembrance Learning ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/blog/IMG_0528.JPG) 13 November 2026 [Reception Blog](https://ststephenscofe.durham.sch.uk/blog/category/reception-blog) This week in Reception, we have been learning about Remembrance Day and why we remember the brave soldiers and people who have helped to keep us safe. We talked about the importance of remembering those who have served in wars and the meaning behind it. We have been busy little artists creating our own beautiful poppy paintings! The children explored using different painting techniques, carefully choosing red and black paint to create their poppies. We are so proud of the children’s wonderful artwork and the care they took when creating their special poppies.
