Dundee pupils’ Battle of Loos study project an example to all

Some of the pupils, who have now moved up to Morgan Academy, with their panels on the Battle Of Loos.

A group of 18 Dundee pupils will be held up as an example of good practice after being selected to take part in the Battle of Loos school transition programme.

The youngsters started the project while at primary schools associated with the city’s Morgan Academy.

They learned about the horrifying experiences of Dundee soldiers during the 1915 conflict.

Funded by Education Scotland and Great War Dundee, the project is due to be written up and shared nationally.

During their visits to Morgan, pupils took part in information sessions with The Black Watch Museum, Black Watch Veterans and Verdant Works.

They experienced First World War training with Dundee Academy of Sport and learned about poetry.

In each lesson they were asked to complete a series of questions and record their answers in a workbook.

By the end of the event the children had created an exhibition to educate others about the battle, which will form part of the national commemoration to take place in the city this weekend.

Their work will be presented to the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay and the First Minister, among other dignitaries.

Information banners produced have been placed on the Morgan Academy school stage this week before their move to the Caird Hall.

A school spokesman said: “Now that the exhibition is complete the pupils are training to become tour guides and will share their knowledge with others.

“The pupils will present to the public at the Battle of Loos commemorative event in the Caird Hall.”
