\nThe group is also producing a display of newspaper clips relating to Inverclyde, football and WWI, which can be seen outside the Social Subjects base.
\nLRC: G Holborn has informed us that there will be a display relating to WWI in the LRC during the week of the school commemorations (w.b. 8\/12), which will include some of the literature of WWI and historical accounts of the war.
\nA reminder of other departments\u2019 involvement:
\n\u2022\tRE: Pope Benedict XV had a “Truce of God\u201d. Pupils will learn how he saw it as an ideal opportunity to hasten the end of the war allowing all sides time to consider the ethical and moral actions of world conflict.
\n\u2022\tPE: S3 Football tournament will take place on 9th December. Pupils who are not participating in the tournament will watch films relating to the truce and to sportsmen\u2019s involvement in WWI more generally.
