We had such fun recording this podcast. You can hear the podcast in full on the 29th June. Link in the article. Thank you so much @sommecourt, the kids were delighted to meet you and we could have listened to you all day! @CWGC
I was honoured to work with @CWGC and be asked to speak with the students at these Sussex schools about their work to remember the Worthing lads who fell in 'The Day Sussex Died' in 1916.

Amazing work by Year 1 @AnnecyFamily in Seaford. I visited to support their learning around Remembrance and was really impressed by their knowledge, questions and empathy. Lovely to see schools introducing this topic early on. @CWGC
Quick @cwgc Remembrance update, now the dust has settled on a very busy couple of weeks. 1300 young people spoken to, 10 school workshops, 3 assemblies, a really special cemetery visit at Hawkinge on the 11th itself plus a couple of talks and 2 Remembrance services.

Why we do what we do @CWGC Beautiful comment from the niece of William Puttick who had seen the work the children of Worthing had produced on her uncle and his shipmates who lost their lives on the HMS Hood in 1941.
Beautiful day @cwgc Brighton City Cemetery engaging students from @ShorehamCollege with their local First World War history. Planting looked gorgeous and so much nature in the site too.
