Wow!! We are so lucky here at Redbridge Primary School to have had 14 volunteers come in and share their job roles with us as part of our very first careers farye.

Volunteers came in with pictures, props and real working examples of what their jobs entailed. The children were able to ask about the pros and cons of the jobs, how they trained and what qualifications and personal attributes they needed.

A BIG thank you everyone who came in 🙂

World War 1

Posted by Anna O'Sullivan in Uncategorized | Tagged , , , | Leave a comment

Hi, we are the Learning Council, our aim is to share our learning with the whole school and anyone else. Our job is to help learning in the school and improve it in anyway possible. Seeing as it is the centenary of WW1 we have been researching and finding out about what happened in WW1, finding interesting facts, and writing our own poems which are just below this. We also did a bit of homework in half term about World War 1, we found out facts about how the war was triggered and what kind of things happened.

This is a poem written by JN:

The Traumas of the Great War
It was the war. The First World War.
I was directed to war at such a young age,
resilient, clever and had a bright future,
but what I absorbed was death and trepidation,
I endured traumatic flashbacks from all but four years.
it was the war that disintegrated my heart,
without the friend or foe, I was forced to say goodbye,
it was the war that coerced my stomach to clench relentlessly,
in my head I saw the fallen friend and foe in nightmares through the night,
it was the war that pressured me to be traumatized horrendously,
tossing and turning throughout the night,
it was the war that made me incredibly hollow,
like dust on the pavement or maybe a shadow,
it was the war that made me vulnerable and fragile,
every little bang, made me jump and flinch,
it was the war that taught me to take pride,
in everything I did in my life,
it was the war that showed me friendship,
friendship took me to victory.
It was the war that made my country survive gleam and shine, gleam with pride.
