Some of the pupils had the chance to dress up as characters from the Civil War Period. "I liked seeing the musket being fired: It's amazing that a musket bullet could travel a mile". Karl "I enjoyed the whole Civil War day ad it was fun and really interesting". Amy |
Year 8 The English Civil War was brought to life when Steve Parish and Jo Ellis visited Year 8 at Greneway. They made the pupils realise how different life would have been in times of the English Civil War. When Steve fired his musket, the pupils appreciated how loud and smoky a battlefield would have been. This way of learning was a great hit with the pupils.Adam declared, "I enjoyed the musket firing and the army routines. People were almost completely self sufficient and made their own gunpowder in the 1640's. |
"When I dressed up as a lady from 1640's the clothes were very warm. I enjoyed this way of learning about History". Jade "I liked handling the artefacts which Jo & Steve brought in. Life in the Civil War was much harder than I realised". Sarah
