To enhance their learning about WW1 and life in the trenches, Year 8 listened to a special presentation in their History lesson from Mr Cockle, who spoke about his career in the British army and the work he did as part of Operation Orbital in Ukraine. Students were shown photographs, video footage and aerial images of modern day trenches in Ukraine, and were then asked to compare trench ware fare in 21st century to life in the trenches during WW1. Mr Cockle also led a practical 'casualty extraction' demonstration with several students during his enlightening presentation.
