Year 7 students from Brine Leas School have created a poppy field after spending an activity week in Menai, Anglesey.
Pupils carried out research on the history of World War participants from their own families before the trip.
And their information was then used to produce individually designed commemorative poppies.
On their return to Nantwich, these were planted at the front of school to produce a ‘poppy field’, which visitors are welcome to view.
Claire Somerville, who organised the activity for Brine Leas School, said: “2015 was another fantastic year at Menai. A great collection of poppies were produced.
“The students thoroughly enjoyed researching their ancestors and designing their bespoke poppy.”
