🌺Poppies on Pebbles Project🌺

Today, we were delighted to welcome the Poppies on Pebbles team to Caythorpe! Led by Debbie Nichols (SKDC), this special commemorative project encourages children across the area to paint decorative poppy pebbles in honour of Remembrance Day 2025.

All of the beautifully painted pebbles will be brought together to form a larger community artwork, creating a lasting tribute of remembrance.

Our pupils also enjoyed learning about Caythorpe’s important role during World War II and the history of the 216 Signals Parachute Squadron. This learning ties in with an exciting new project — an Airborne Forces Trail — made possible through Lottery funding as part of the ‘Soldiers from the Sky’ initiative.

We are so proud of our children’s creativity and thoughtfulness as they remember and reflect on the sacrifices made. ❤️💙
