During the visit, the children made and laid poppies as part of the church's Remembrance Day activities before listening respectfully to the Remembrance Service. They also joined the congregation in observing the two-minute silence, taking time to reflect on and remember those who have served and sacrificed in conflicts around the world. The children had the opportunity to look around the church and learn more about the people who played important roles during wartime, including the men, women and animals who served and supported the war effort. The group walked to and from the church and were excellent ambassadors for Greenbank throughout the day. Their behaviour, manners and respect were outstanding, and they represented the school brilliantly. We are very proud of the children for the maturity and respect they showed throughout this special experience and thank St Edmund's Church for welcoming them and helping to deepen their understanding of remembrance. ### Remembrance [![](https://files.schudio.com/greenbank-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/remembrance/3.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/greenbank-primary-school/images/gallery/remembrance/3.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/greenbank-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/remembrance/NEW_Picture1.png)](https://files.schudio.com/greenbank-primary-school/images/gallery/remembrance/NEW_Picture1.png) [![](https://files.schudio.com/greenbank-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/remembrance/NEW_Picture2.png)](https://files.schudio.com/greenbank-primary-school/images/gallery/remembrance/NEW_Picture2.png) [Year 3](https://greenbank.rochdale.sch.uk/news/tag/year-3) [ Year 6 Prefects Begin Their Journey as Wellbeing Ambassadors](https://greenbank.rochdale.sch.uk/news/2026-11-02-year-6-prefects-begin-their-journey-as-wellbeing-ambassadors) ### Greenbank Primary School Greenbank Road Rochdale OL12 0HZ 01706 647923 01706 869303 © Copyright 2020–2026 Greenbank Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://greenbank.rochdale.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
