P7 Learning in our Community<\/span><\/h2>\n
Today we had a fabulous day of learning with a visit from Stewart Finlay who is the Chairperson for the Kilmarnock branch of the Royal British Legion Scotland.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As part of our WWII topic, we asked him to help us research the names on the Fenwick War Memorial from WWII. <\/span><\/h6>\n
Stewart visited us and brought us the information about who every name was, where they had fallen during WWII and where they are buried. He had found stories about all the men and where they had come from in Fenwick and what regiment they belonged to.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n
We learned that two of the soldiers are buried in the cemetery in Fenwick. This has inspired us to visit their graves and take flowers for Armistice Day.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stewart also brought along his medals and some jackets worn by veterans after the war in the 1950s. Stewart shared his knowledge with us and stories of his life in the army. <\/span><\/h6>\n
We were all really engaged by the stories that were shared and they have inspired us to research\u00a0 some family members that Primary 7 have who also fought in WWII.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n
