WW1 Letters Home

Letters HomeGood luck to Mr Reilly’s S3 history pupils who have entered Poppy Scotland’s ‘Letters Home’ competition. This competition commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme and pupils were asked to write a letter home as though they were soldiers fighting at the front. They were encouraged to think about sharing their experiences, emotions and describing the environment they were in, as well as the impact of their words on the letter’s recipient.
