Pioneer had a great time at the Leeds Armouries – they all got involved and took their learning into their own hands. It was fantastic to see the focus they had when asking and answering questions, recording information about the weapons used in the Great War, and taking part in the workshops.
When we returned to school we discussed our highlights of the fieldwork which included increasing their knowledge of weapons from the Great War, watching the soldiers fire their rifles, and seeing some of the different exhibits of weapons and their use throughout history.
I’m already looking forward to our next fieldwork!
