NSPCC Number Day
The Somme centre visit
The Year 7s were invited to the Somme centre for a guided tour around the museum and had the chance to handle artefacts and weaponry. They learnt about the 36th Ulster division and their memorial in Thiepval, a replica of Helen’s tower in Clandeboye where they trained. A very moving visit.
