This Kapow pupil video is part of the Kapow History scheme of work. It helps you understand why we mark Remembrance Day and who we are remembering.

Remembrance Day is a time to think about brave men and women who helped protect others during past wars, like the First and Second World Wars. We wear poppies to help us remember them and to say thank you. On this day, people across the country stop for a moment of silence to show respect and to honour those who risked or gave their lives to keep others safe.

The video is designed to be shown to pupils as part of History, Key stage 1, Year 1, How am I making history? Optional Remembrance lesson: What does the poppy mean and why do people wear it?
