As a part of their topic on 'The Great Wars', on Tuesday 18th October, Year 6 visited the National Arboretum. The children paid their respects to the fallen by in the daily service and walked through a World War 1 trench to understand more about what the soldiers experienced. Each pupil had the chance to paint their own 18" wooden soldier which will be placed in the ground as a lasting memorial to the 19,240 British soldiers killed on the first day of battle in WW1.
