History

On November 1st, we went to Arnos Vale explore what happened to the WW1 soldiers from Bristol and why so many WW1 soldiers died after the war in Bristol. We explored the site and discovered information about War Graves.

In October, we went on a walk round our local community with Michael Gorely from English Heritage to compare what it looked like now to when WW1 was taking place. We found out lots of interesting information.

We are learning all about WW1 in History. We explored how the army ran a campaign to persuade people to enlist, before taking part in an 'enlistment' day!

All recruits had to have an eye test.

They would have been questioned about any special skills they possessed, such as driving.

New recruits had to be taller than 5' 3 " to be accepted into the army

We discovered that some of the people in 6T would have been tall enough to be recruited!
