World War I Centenary Commemoration

With the help of parents and the wider school community the foyer at Papdale School was transformed into a  Museum for the World War One Centenary Commemoration celebrations


Artefacts and news clippings from families who had relatives serving in the war were displayed along with a beautiful replica of the St Magnus 'Weeping Window' commemorative poppy installation created in the Papdale nursery with the assistance of the children.

'Many Hands' reminds us of those seamen who lost their lives at the Battle of Jutland 


Mr Hodgon, our Art Teacher, with the help of all the P1-P7 children, also created a thought provoking art installation entitled 'Many Hands' depicting a sinking ship and hands cut out with the names of all the seamen lost at the battle of Jutland in 1916.
