Poppy Project Update                         23/10/14

Dear Parents, Carers, Friends and Community,

Our ‘Poppy Art Installation’ inspired by the Tower of London tribute has fired the imagination of many. Following the news coverage of The Queen’s visit to the Tower some of our children decided to write to The Queen and invite her to Martham!

Holton St Peter School in Suffolk (brought pupils to Martham for a poppy making demonstration) recently had Radio Suffolk visit them to talk about the project. They have passed on information about our venture internally within the BBC- Radio Norfolk, Look East and The One Show!

A Poppy making Reading Café is to be held after half term for classes L3, B3/4, and SK4. This will swell our ‘poppy river’ a bit more. However, instructions, written by our pupils, are available on the school blog (accessed through the school website) so please use half term to have a go at creating poppies. If you do not have access to all of the materials, cut bottles ready for us to paint would be much appreciated. We need as much support as possible.

 Please ‘visit’ us on the Facebook page - Suffolk and Norfolk Field of Poppies or the Martham Primary School Facebook pages or on Twitter.

Mrs Elliott
