Fantastic launch of our project, Field of Remembrance - well done our ‘Field of Archives’ team supporting making of flowers by all pupils from years 3 to 6 at Paganel School - I’ll be forwarding a beautiful wreath to the Heads of Commonwealth meeting for them to place at the Cenotaph in London this April.

‘Lest we forget’, great place to start with the ‘Unremembered’ of the Labour Corps, many of which are buried at Lodge Hill Cemetery - see our whole school assembly presentation for details on the four soldiers buried at Lodge Hill Cemetery we researched who served in the Labour Corps.

Also thanks to B’ham Music Service and Paganel School guitarists for providing themed tunes for the Guitar group to play at the assembly!
