Remembrance Day 2021

This year’s Remembrance Sunday will be marked on 14^th November, with Remembrance Day three days earlier on Thursday 11^th November 2021.

To help schools mark the occasion and link it to developing literacy in the classroom, I am offering these FREE resources for schools to use based around my books.

Please use this assembly film for KS2 and KS3 made at the Arctic Memorial, Liverpool Parish Church. It is for use in the hall or for schools to stream throughout classrooms. I talk about the real First and Second World War soldiers, airmen and women and sailors that have inspired the characters in my books. https://youtu.be/DL35oK6en_w
