Students from the Chaze schools' senior kindergarten and CE1/CE2 classes have been working on a memorial project in preparation for the November 11th armistice commemoration. The ceremony will take place at 3:15 PM at the war memorial in Samatan.
This project involved two workshops. The first focused on World War I and its millions of casualties, including a visit to and study of the town's war memorial. The second workshop involved creating a piece symbolizing the cornflower and poppy, flowers emblematic of the battlefields. These works will be presented during the ceremony.
“"To pay tribute to the soldiers who fought for our freedom and to never forget them."
On Thursday, November 5th, Captain Marc Pêcheur visited the children at the school. He explained the proceedings of a ceremony at the foot of the war memorial and highlighted the symbolic significance of November 11th.
