S3 History “Digging In” Field Trip

Over the past few weeks, all S3 History classes visited the ‘Digging In’ World War One exhibition in Pollok Country Park.  This field trip was in keeping with the Era of the Great War 1900-1928 unit of work.

Pupils toured a reconstructed trench to learn more about the structure of trenches, weapons used during WWI and soldiers’ uniforms and ration packs.  Each class also took part in a number of workshops including ‘Commemoration’, ‘Wounded in War’ and had the opportunity to use periscopes in the trenches.
