Real History Workshops

In the Real History workshops pupils from both primary schools involved dressed up and used artefacts and props to recreate scenes and explore life during WW1. They imagined what it would have been like to live in the trenches, crawl under barbed wire and throw grenades. They learnt about a boy called Harry who didn’t want to go to war but he was forced to by conscription.  Harry survived and lived till he was 111 and only spoke of what happened in the war when he was 100!  At the end of the session there was a quiet time for discussion and reflection.
