Remembering Together: A Creative Beginning to Our Art Lesson

Introduction

Hello, little artists! Today, we will embark on a very special adventure. We are going to learn about Remembrance Day—a day when we remember the brave people who have helped keep our country safe and sound.

Starting the Lesson: A Moment of Reflection

1. The Poppy Story

Let's begin our lesson with a story about a beautiful flower called the poppy. Gather around as I tell you about how the poppy became a symbol of Remembrance Day.

Text to Read:
"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful red flower called the poppy. After a long time of fighting, the fields of poppies bloomed brightly, and they reminded everyone to remember the brave people who showed courage. Every year on November 11th, we wear a poppy to honor and remember them."

2. A Moment of Silence

After the story, let’s take a moment of silence to remember those brave heroes. We can close our eyes and think about all the people working to keep everyone safe.

[Take a short pause for reflection]

3. Poppy Art Introduction

Now, let's bring some color into our lesson! We will create our very own poppy art.

Instructions for Poppy Art:

• We will use red paper to cut out poppies.
• We will add black centers to them using markers or stickers.
• If you have crayons or paints at home, you can decorate your poppies with other colors too!

4. Story Time to Inspire Creativity

To inspire our artwork, let's listen to a fun little song about flowers and bravery. Here’s a short song to sing together before we start creating:

(Tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")

Poppy, poppy, shining bright,  
Remembering with all our might.  
Brave and bold, both near and far,  
Thank you for your guiding star.  
Poppy, poppy, in the sun,  
With you, we remember everyone.

Conclusion

Now, little artists, let's grab our supplies and begin our special poppy art project! Remember, this is a time to celebrate and think about the heroes who help us. Let's create beautiful pieces of art that show our respect and love.

Happy creating! 🎨💖
