Working with Wiltshire Museum to Commemorate 1918
Cassiopeia and I have been very lucky to be involved with a WW1 project organised by Wiltshire Museum and The Royal British Legion remembering local soldiers. We offered to write a letter from a WW1 solider back home.
The soldier was a real person, he is remembered on the Rowde Memorial. We were given some information about him to help, but we also used our learning this week and the 1911 census to help.
I am so proud of their ideas and I think the letter we have written together is excellent. It is all the children's own ideas and words, I have only helped in the ordering and structure of the letter and by asking questions to encourage ideas.
It will be on display in Devizes, along with 29 other letters as part of the remembrance celebrations. This will be during the weekend of 27th and 28th October, as soon as I have more details I will let you know.
We are very excited to see it!
