Coningsby pre-school remember the fallen with unique poppy display

Staff and children at Jacdor Pre-School, in Coningsby, have come up with a unique way of remembering the fallen from the First World War.

A poppy display has been erected at the pre-school to mark the centenary of the end of the First World War.

Staff and children removed the bottoms from plastic bottles and painted them red with a black centre.

A spokesman said: “Without, perhaps, realising it, the children are learning two things from this project.

“Namely respect for our heroes of WW1 and a lesson in re-cycling plastic bottles.

“These poppies will all be carefully stored and brought out again at this time in future years to go on display.

“Well done to everyone at Jacdor.”
