On Friday morning (20th March), G32 will have the opportunity to work in person with Elizabeth Smith from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC). She will deliver a presentation on how to interpret war graves and the information that can be gained from them.
Following this, Elizabeth will accompany students, along with staff, to St Mary’s Church to investigate the Commonwealth war graves and apply their learning in a practical context.
This represents a valuable and authentic learning experience. We are very grateful to the CWGC for supporting our students as they explore the guiding question for their current Human expedition: ‘Why should we honour all those who sacrificed during WW1?’
Students should wear comfortable footwear suitable for walking (no Crocs) and bring a waterproof coat in case of inclement weather.
