Primary 5 had a great morning at the museum learning about WW1. Children were taken on a timeline back to before the war started and learned a lot about how the war began, learned about medals that were earned by the soldiers and about artefacts that would have been used by the soldiers. The highlight was definitely seeing what the trenches looked like as this was a keen interest from the class while we were learning about it although I don’t think they enjoyed the smell that had been recreated and kept in a box for them to smell what it would have been like with infections from trenchfoot, wounds and the duck and chuck! I know I did not enjoy that one little bit!
