Follow on Google News | Historic Royal Palaces partners with Discovery Education to broadcast live school assemblyBy: Discovery Education The event is part of Discovery Education’s global efforts to support educators and students in honouring those who have served in the armed forces, in conjunction with Remembrance Day in the UK and Canada, and Veterans Day in the United States. Aimed primarily at 7-14 year olds (Key Stages 2 and 3), but suitable for all given the nature of this historic event, this live school assembly, aligned with the national curriculum, has been inspired by Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, the stunning artwork comprising 888,246 ceramic poppies - each one representing a British military fatality during the war -tumbling down the walls and filling the moat at the Tower of London. Hosted by Tim Vincent, former Blue Peter presenter and now NBC’s Access Hollywood correspondent, directed by Oliver MacFarlane, series editor for Blue Peter and the BBC Proms, and produced by Lewis Bronze, Director of Content at Discovery Education and former Editor of Blue Peter, highlights include the story of the breathtaking artwork Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, and a bugler playing The Last Post. During the virtual event, six pupils from Pakeman Primary School in Islington, London will connect virtually with a Canadian classroom in Hamilton, Ontario. Using Skype, the students in the UK and Canada will collaborate and explore the three essential questions around Remembrance Day - Why should we remember? Why is 100 years significant? Lewis Bronze – Director of Content, Discovery Education ‘It's a privilege for Discovery Education to be in this amazing place where the Tower of London has created a modern artwork which encapsulates a century of tradition. For those that can't see it for themselves this assembly is a unique opportunity to bring its majesty and beauty into thousands of classrooms worldwide.’ The event will be streamed live by Discovery Education.
