WW1 Exhibition
Children from both schools went by coach to Aintree Devenhill Primary School to visit the WW1 Exhibition there. The exhibition included a WW1 Motorbike, uniforms, trench maps, posters, as well as a ‘Padre’s Tent’ for quiet reflection, and a looped slide show showing photographs from the era. There was space for people to share and talk about the stories behind their personal collections and members of the local community were able to share their own stories at this event.
The children enjoyed being able to dress up and hold WW1 artefacts in their hands. The exhibition was very well received by the teachers too, who felt that it very much brought their project to life.
