This week I have been busy providing interactive sessions
with 60 children from 2 schools each day at Bradford City Library as part of
their Children’s Book Week Programme (pictures to follow hopefully). The sessions on life for 'Children in WW1' have gone down well with the
teachers and the children who get involved in an argument over a ruler and
learn how the war broke out. They also had the chance to see the film strip
made by a 9 year old boy, Charles Harold Wood, during the war and that really
captured their imaginations. If you would like me to visit your school to talk
about children or any other aspect of WW1 please email me.
The West Riding Ruggers have also been at the Library
helping the children to make a reading rug for the library with a poppy design
that was produced in association with the children.
Watch out for next weeks post when Bradford was overrun
by bikes in 1915 just as it will be this weekend for le Tour de France.
