Primary 7 thoroughly enjoyed their trip with Alan Hamilton yesterday, Alan is a friend of the school, a veteran and an expert in all things to do with WWII.
He set up an activity for us to discover some different war graves, when we found the correct graves we laid some commemorative crosses for Remembrance Day. Alan also explained a bit about each soldier, their role in the war and how they lost their lives.
Alan told us some information about a residential house right next to the school, if you look closely at the brickwork, you can see that there was an opening – this used to be the old tuck shop for the school. He also reminded us that the ‘big’ house at the end of the road used to be a Police Station.
Alan was delighted with his gift from a pupil, the pupil made him a technical replica model of some war weapons. We want to say a huge thank you to Alan for his continued support of the school and wealth of knowledge. The pupils are looking forward to working with him again.
