On Monday the 5th of November, Mercury and Bronze Class went to Valence House for a WWI workshop. We were able find out more information about the men, women and children involved in the war and what other countries were involved as well. We looked at some WWI artefacts and were fascinated  at how each artefact had a story behind it.

 

Looking at various documents that gave us more information about the war.
