A Zeppelin Over Yarwell

We have put up a lot of stories about building the

Zeppelin but we also worked with Nassington  Primary school on our WWI project.

They have been looking at old school records to find out what happened in the school during WWI.
They found that the punishment book was the most exciting because they learnt which soldiers were naughty at school. They discovered that a punishment could be up to six whacks on the hand with a cane. They were surprised to learn that the Northamptonshire Regiment came to assembly and showed the children a bomb! The children did not think that a bomb would be allowed in school today.

     The children also wrote and designed a leaflet using information that they had          gained from the school log books. We have distributed the leaflets around          the area.              

Some of the children learnt to knit mittens, just as the children did during WWI, when a large number of mittens were sent out to the troops.
