Whalsay Assembly
World War 2
Class Whalsay led our assembly this week.
They invited their parents and family into school to watch their showcase.
They had prepared a presentation highlighting some of their recent topic work, World War 2.
They used the internet to research information, collect photographs and they also visited a museum looking at lots of artefacts from the war.
The highlight of their assembly was a small drama piece all about the war. They dressed up as a charachter, sang songs and performed a dance.
Miss O’Brien took some video footage and Miss McMillan and Mrs Reed will show it to the class next week and use this as evidence for their achievement folders.
Have a look at some of our photographs below.
