History
Rothbury Trenches Trip
Year 7 and 8's had the opportunity to visit Rothbury's training trenches from WWI. These trenches were used to train young men before they departed for the war effort. Pupils were given the chance to see what it was like to train as a soldier. There was a mock trench, we looked at a soldiers uniform and equipment a soldier would carry. Also we went into the original trenches across the moor.
Holy Island Trip
As part of the humanities curriculum Year 5s enjoyed a field trip to Holy Island. They explored the island learning about the history and looking at the geographical features. The children listened to stories about St Cuthbert. They explored areas of the island looking at human and geography features.
