WW1 Project at Normanby Hall

To extend knowledge of students across North Lincolnshire, Normanby Hall set up a three day project to teach 4 students from each school in the local area about the life of soldiers during WW1. Jack Shaw, Martin Thorpe-Ortiz, Harry Griffiths and Shannon McLaughlin (from The Axholme Academy) were just a few of many students from different schools attending the project.

They will attend for three days, 31^st January, 28^th March and 20^th June. The first session comprised of activities throughout the day, researching and tasks. Each school was given a different soldier to research and find out certain information. The academy’s soldier to research was Robert Fulcher in the 2^nd Grenadiers. Over the course of the three days the students are to make a short film about the life of their given soldier.
