Our lesson on Walter Tull 11th March 2014

Posted on March 13, 2014 by MD Posted in Herne Bay High School .

 On Tuesday the 11th March three of us from the Football and Peace project taught a lesson to the rest of our class using the research we had carried out on Walter Tull. It was exciting and fun for all of us and the class really enjoyed it. We started off the lesson like one of Miss Fairbard’s with the date title and learning objective. Then we did a bingo style quiz. You write 16 words on a board and then answer the clues to try and get 4 in a row to win a lolly. All the words were related to things we had already learnt about so should have been easy. Once we had finished and everyone had settled back down we watched a 6 minute long video on Walter Tull and his life asking them to make notes on key things e.g. his football career, him as a soldier and his early life.  After they had finished the video we asked them to answer 8 questions. Some struggled with this but we know how we can improve this for future reference.  Next we had planned a fun activity. Everyone had a card with a date or an event that corresponded with Walters’s life. The students had to match the correct date to the event. This was an enjoyable activity and got everyone moving around. Once I had checked that it was correct everyone sat back down. We had given them a copy of the full timeline so they had it all down in their books. Once they had glued the sheet into their book there was only 5 minutes left of the lesson so the final task was set for homework. This was to create a poster on Walters’s life and why we should remember him. Nobody really liked the fact that we set homework but it had to be done. Victoria Williams one of the students that we taught said “it was really good. I liked the fact that you got everyone involved. I don’t mind the fact you set homework as it keeps what we have learnt fresh in our minds.” Zara Wallace, one of the members from the club said “it was very good and I learnt a lot about Walter Tull. I also like the fact you set homework because you could get us to do some of our own research as well as everything that you taught us.”   We found it an educational experience and great fun. I have always wanted to be a teacher so it was great experience to teach other students about what I had learnt from being part of this project. At the end of the lesson we found out we might be teaching the other groups further on in the year when they move on to the World War One topic. I can’t wait.

Year 9 Herons Swap their Teacher Miss Fairbard for a University Professor!

Posted on March 9, 2014 by MD Posted in Herne Bay High School .

9S1, Monday 23rd February 2014 had the pleasure of welcoming Professor Adrian Smith from the University of Southampton to teach their usual period 5 History lesson.

Professor Adrian Smith was invited into the school as part of the organisation www.speakers4schools.org to speak to the class about the role of football in World War One. He spoke of the role of football and other sports such as rugby and cricket in recruiting men into ‘Pals Battalions’ to fight on the Western Front. He also discussed the Christmas Truce and debated whether there were football matches taking place during this temporary cease fire in 1914, never to be repeated during the rest of the war. To read more about Professor Smith please go to:  http://www.speakers4schools.org/speakers/professor-adrian-smith

Professor Smith was also joined by Ernie Brennan, the director of the National Children’s Football Alliance. Ernie filmed the whole lesson as part of the Football and Peace project to commemorate the centenary of World War One which ten pupils in this class are part of.

Professor Smith emailed the school after the event and said “Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to your class.  I thought they were terrific, both bright and well-behaved”

Did the Christmas Truce ever happen again? By Charlotte Evans

Posted on February 27, 2014 by MD Posted in Herne Bay High School .

A Christmas Card from the time

In short… No. But there were some reasons why it didn’t happen again. The main reason why it happened in 1914 was because both sides thought the war was going to be over by Christmas. BUT it didn’t.

I think that another reason it didn’t happen was because after the Christmas Truce happened, they moved all the soldiers who were involved in it to different trenches (maybe where the conditions were worse).

Walter Tull – By Niamh Alexander aged 13

Posted on February 27, 2014 by MD Posted in Herne Bay High School .

 

Water Tull playing football and in the war

Walter Tull was a pioneering black British footballer and the first black officer in the British army, who died heroically fighting in the First World War and yet is virtually unheard of today.

Walter Tull and his companions in the war

When the First World War broke out, Walter abandoned his football career to join the 17th (1st Football) Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment. Walter was the first ever Black officer in the British Army, and the first black officer to lead white men into battle.

Walter was sent to the Italian Front where he twice led his Company across the River Piave on a raid and both times brought all of his troops back safely. He was mentioned in Despatches for his ‘gallantry and coolness’ under fire by his commanding officer.

He was recommended for the Military Cross but never received it.

After their time in Italy, Walter’s Battalion was transferred to Somme Valley in France. On 25 March, 1918, Walter Tull was killed by machine gun fire while trying to help his men retreat.

What else happened in December 1914? By Charlotte Evans

Posted on February 27, 2014 by MD Posted in Herne Bay High School .

Many people know that the Christmas Truce happened in 1914 (The football match between the German soldiers and the British soldiers on Christmas Day 1914), but many other things happened around this festive time in the trenches.

Some WW1 Soldiers

The Germans began by placing candles on their trenches and on Christmas trees, then continued the celebration by singing Christmas carols. The English responded by singing carols of their own. The two sides continued by shouting Christmas greetings to each other. Soon thereafter, there were excursions across the ‘No Man’s Land’, where small gifts were exchanged, such as food, tobacco and alcohol, and souvenirs such as buttons and hats.

BUT…

Some WW1 Soldiers

General Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien, commander of the British II Corps, was irate when he heard what was happening, and issued strict orders forbidding friendly communication with the opposing German troops.
