Exposition aux deux CDI des poèmes de nos élèves
Pour les commémorations du 11 Novembre et les 3 semaines qui s'en suivaient, nous avons exposé les poèmes des élèves de terminale L qui ont essayé d'exprimer en langue anglaise ce que pouvaient ressentir les soldats sur le front, après s'être imprégnés des poèmes d'auteurs comme Siegfried Sassoon et Wilfried Owen. Nous avons associé les poèmes que nous avions reçu des élèves d'EGGS via Shared Historiesà notre exposition.
Les poèmes ont été exposés sur des formes rouges et noires symbolisant...
LA BOISSELLE and THIEPVAL
Lors de notre visite du circuit du souvenir, nous avons été interpellés et attristés par cette couronne de coquelicots dédiée à ce jeune soldat qui semble avoir 13 ou 14 ans. Cette couronne se trouvait à Thiepval, sous l'arche, ce qui veut dire qu'il faisait partie de ceux qui n'ont pas trouvé de sépulture. Nous nous sommes demandés si il avait menti sur son âge pour pouvoir s'engager et partir avec des amis.
Ce petit message est pour nous une façon de lui rendre hommage et de se souvenir de...
Our school trip to "The Somme 1916 Museum" in Albert " and The Remembrance Trail" in the Somme
Two weeks ago we visited the Somme 1916 Albert Museum with the school . This visit helped us to realize how soldiers lived in the trenches during the war. Then we went to La Boisselle to see the mine crater where each year on the 1st of July a ceremony is organised to commemorate the beginning of the Battle of the Somme. We send you a photo of the group of pupils who are going to work on our project this year. Our teachers and the English speaking guide also took us to the Tiepval Memorial...
Battle of the Somme life loss prompts young artist
I painted this image as it depicts a group of New Zealanders at the Battle of the Somme shortly before many in the group died fighting alongside the British and French armies.
The Battle of the Somme was one of the largest and bloodiest battles of WW1.
Deaths exceeded 1 million and, in proportion to New Zealand’s population, we lost a larger amount of lives than any other country involved.
I chose to use this image as I feel this huge loss for New Zealanders is not recognised in the way...

Of the misery of war - Nos Fils Nos Familles
Stan Stanfield.
Stan Stanfield is my Great-Grandfather. He fought in several of the battles in World War One. Sidney George Stanfield (Stan) was born in Tinui, a small town near Masterton in 1900. He worked as a farmhand before he sailed off to war at age 15 in 1916. He fought in France and Belgium. When he came home from war he was still 2 years under the age limit of how old you had to be to go to war. Stan was just a just a young boy who lived on a farm in New Zealand...
My great grand mother during the war - Nos Fils Nos Familles
During the war in France, my great great uncle and great grandfather were fighting in Picardie. At the same time Epsom Girls was founded and my great grandmother began attending there from day one. This is a bit of their story from before they met.
Beginning of Epsom Girls – February 1917
One of the foundation pupils at Epsom, May Simpson was just 16 when the school opened. Many of the girls’ fathers, brothers, cousins and uncles were fighting in WWI and the whole community was struggling...
Some letters and this terrible telegram... Nos Fils Nos Familles
My great-great-great-grandfather was one of those out of many who gave his life in order to bring peace for later generations. Although I could not find many records of my great-great-great-grandfather I do have a few. I asked my grandmother if she had anything that could be of help for this report and she sent me a box that my great-great-great- grandfather’s sister kept during The Great War. Although there is only two letters in the box I also found the death telegram for my great-great-great...

Nos Fils Nos Familles Project at Epsom Girls
From Year 9 to Year 13, we have integrated components of the WW1 Commemoration project into our curriculum and assessment. Year 10 students have just completed a cultural project where they have explored the historical links between New Zealand and France through a RAFTS assignment. Several of the girls researched a soldier who was a relative and explored through family history his life before and after the war. Then they responded with a product of some sort.

Nos Fils Nos Familles: Le paquet est arrivé! Un grand merci!
Greetings to our friends in Chauny.
It was with great pleasure that I found in my pigeon hole yesterday morning a package with noticeably French writing on the label. The French staff opened it with anticipation and pleasure. Inside we found four group projects and some brochures on visits and sites in the Chauny area related to our project and to our pending trip, a thoughtful gift for our history teacher, Marsha, who is on maternity leave, a packet of bleuet seeds, and a card with kind...
