Luca Wedge-Clarke and Jacob Sinkins attended a government funded Battlefields trip in October and were inspired by the stories of the people behind the pictures and the war graves. As part of the Institute of Education's Cententary 'Legacy 110' scheme the boys have researched and created an interactive display that contains the stories for local soldiers from the Aylsham area.
The interactive display can be seen currently in the corridor outside the History department and in Aylsham Church. It really is worth a look!
After completing the display, Luca and Jacob presented it to two whole school assemblies alongside discussing their experiences of the Battlefield tour that they attended. It recieved a warm welcome from their peers and stands as encouragement for students to take the time to research their own rich family histories.
Not only was this project displayed to students but it was also a central part of the school remembrance day. In the morning school governors, teachers, local members of the veterans associations and family members arrived at Aylsham High School for the interactive display's official unveiling. It was wonderful to see the boys put across their project and their experiences with so much enthusiasm. They instructed visitors on the use of QR codes that take the reader to a webpage on the life stories of soldiers such as F.J Barrett who is included within this project.
