As we move towards Remembrance Day our lessons looking at the WW1 and recent school trip seem evermore important. #Armistice #PoppyAppeal

Just got off the ferry in Dover. All happy, all safe. Students will ring when we stop at Reading services to update on arrival time. 👍🚢

I think the message by Jack Lewis at St Vaast German cemetery encourages understanding of both sides of the war.
