- begin to understand the concepts of remembrance and citizenship;
- begin to develop attitudes about the way they think or feel about those who have served and/or have been affected by war, eg. empathy, pride, respect;
- become active in remembrance activities at home, at school, and in the community; and
- improve their reading, listening, and writing skills.
