New WW1 sessions for schools

Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery are giving school pupils the opportunity to learn more about the lives of local soldiers during the First World War with a new educational session entitled Soldier Stories: Life at war 1914 – 18.

The session, aimed at Key Stages 2 and 3, allows pupils to visit the ‘Soldier Stories’ exhibition and to investigate objects, documents and oral histories to delve into the lives of local soldiers. They will then use these findings to stage their very own commemorative class exhibition.

The session runs for 90 minutes and can accommodate 30 pupils. The cost is £3 per pupil.
