HESKETH HOUSE NEWSLETTER 13 NOVEMBER 2024
A note from the Head… Remembrance Assembly
On Monday this week, our Year 6 pupils presented a poignant and moving Remembrance Assembly, attended by the rest of Hesketh House and many of the Year 6 parents and grandparents. They spoke about the conditions facing the soldiers in World War I, the history of Armistice Day and explained why the poppy has become such a wellknown symbol of remembrance. The reading, songs and poems were a fitting tribute to those who sacrificed themselves for our future. A special thank you to our Year 6 girls who spoke so eloquently and to Charlotte Morris who played The Last Post and Reveille as part of our Remembrance Day ceremony to mark our two-minute silence.

We watched ‘Andy and the Odd Socks’ perform their annual song all about respect – this year’s theme. Emily and Ridhi from our Trilby TV club created a video which has been displayed on our TV screen this week.
