We were extremely luck to have Alan Hamilton visit us this week in Primary 7. He shared his experiences and knowledge of war and he let us pass around his war medals! We learned about the how WWII started; he used an interactive time lapse map to show how it spread all around the word. Alan guided us through a timeline of the events of the war, helping our chronology. He also told us some stories of his time as a pupil at East Calder Primary and linked the events of WWII to local events at the time. Alan left some books behind for us to explore during book week and we can’t wait to get reading!
