WW1 themed day

This week, Year 5 had their WW1 themed day where we paid our respects. 

To do this, we dressed up as soldiers, navy officers, women's land army farmers and school children. 

We kindly had Anne Draper visit and talk to us about some soldiers from Audlem who fought in WW1. She played us the songs from the Remembrance service and we had 2 minutes of silence to think of everyone in the war effort. 

Year 5 brought pictures, items and stories in for our WW1 themed show and tell. It was amazing to learn about Year 5's family members that contributed to the war. 

We practised and sang some war time songs.

During our history lesson, Year 5 collectively wrote a beautiful poem for Remembrance Day. 

In the afternoon, we marched our way down to Audlem St James Church to see the war memorial and talk about the names engraved on the statue. We paid our respects by discussing who the men could have been, what their jobs might have been and what their position could have been in the war. 

To finish the day, we watched the WW1 Horrible Histories episode.
