National Commemoration Days : Armistice Centenary 2018

- Artist workshops to create a visual and creative response to the First World War;
- Singing sessions to learn First World War songs;
- Online toolkits to research specific soldiers leading to students writing Letter Home from the Front;
- Access to the Trench Brothers Education Zone offering contextual information and 90 lesson plans and activities linked to the curriculum;
- A commemoration event bringing together all the elements explored during the day.
