YEAR 9 HISTORY INCURSION
Stepping into the Trenches of World War I
Year 9 History students recently had the unique opportunity to step back in time during a World War I incursion led by Shane from World War Living History. The engaging session brought history to life through a fascinating display of artefacts and replicas, including replica grenades, trench periscopes, and authentic World War I soldiers' uniforms.
This hands-on experience allowed students to interact with historical items that offered a tangible connection to the past, deepening their understanding of the lives of men and women during the Great War. Shane’s storytelling, combined with the immersive materials, captured the attention of both students and staff, making the incursion a memorable highlight of the History curriculum.
The event not only enriched students’ knowledge but also sparked curiosity and meaningful discussions about the realities of war and the sacrifices made by those who served.
