A morning in the trenches.

Year 6 have been British soldiers this morning. We have recreated the trenches in our classrooms where we enjoyed our rations (crackers, a slither of chocolate and a boiled sweet), listened to the diary entries of Charlie May (a British Soldier killed during the battle of the Somme) and wrote our own diary entries whilst listening to the noises of gunfire and explosions. Wow. What a morning! Some of the writing the children have produced has been inspiring. Really great stuff, troops!
