Larbert Village Primary School, Stirling
While visiting Scotland at the end of October, our Learning Officer was able to spend a day with pupils at Larbert Village Primary. This was an opportunity for all pupils from Primary 1 to Primary 7 to find out more about what war memorials are and make them aware of the some of the different memorials in the local area. Some pupils were also involved in more focused war memorial sessions which looked at the different types of war memorials and their design elements.
Melrose Primary School, Scottish Borders
War Memorials Trust was contacted by P7 teachers at Melrose Primary School at the start of the academic year. During the autumn term, P7 pupils were due to be studying the theme of Remembrance in preparation for a Remembrance assembly that they would be putting on for the rest of the school and the parents. The teachers were keen for the Trust’s Learning Officer to visit and talk to the pupils about the importance of war memorials so that this could be included within the assembly.
Bryn Deri Primary School, Cardiff 2017
Bryn Deri Primary School’s Year 6 pupils started the school year in 2017 by studying World War II with a particular focus on war from a child’s perspective. One of their first lessons involved a visit from War Memorials Trust’s Learning Officer and focused on the school’s local war memorial in Radyr, near Cardiff.
Cavendish Community Primary School, Greater Manchester
Staff and pupils at Cavendish Community Primary School have been involved in Historic England’s Heritage Schools project (www.historicengland.org.uk/services-skills/education/heritage-schools) and as part of this learned about the First World War in the autumn term of 2014. The school has a war memorial on site which commemorates former pupils and part of this work included researching the names on this memorial.
Grangewood Independent School
War Memorials Trust was contacted by staff at Grangewood Independent School, London, at the start of the 2014 academic year. The school was keen to work with the Trust on 11th November, Remembrance Day.
