An excellent extension for your able students who you are trying to encourage to take History as one of their options. Your students will engage in inquiry-based learning using original and replica objects to help them build a picture of what happened to the 51st Highland Division, their partial escape from the Germans at St Valery-en-Caux and the fate of those captured and sent to prisoner-of-war camps.
Does HMS Wellington deserve the title The Good Shepherd for her part in helping to rescue the beleaguered troops, or was the rescue mission a failure?
What does it mean to be a Prisoner-of-War? What are your rights and responsibilities?
We are currently looking for a school to help us trial this session. If you would be interested please contact our Education Development Officer edo@thewellingtontrust.org
