Combe Down Primary School, Bath

The children at Combe Down Primary were delighted to welcome Goldies into school on Friday November 7th to help the school commemorate 100 years since the start of World War 1, reports Richard Bullard head teacher at the school.

The Goldies were an important part of a special concert that used song, poetry and drama to mark the centenary. The afternoon finished with the Golidies leading a medley of WW1 songs in front of the Key Stage 2 children and the many invited guests from Combe Down.

The children had been looking at a variety of aspects about WW1 and benefitted enormously from the Goldies visit.  The school places great importance on remembrance and the children have great respect for those who have fought and died in the past; they are very aware of the significance of former pupil Harry Patch.

It was very touching that at the end of the concert many of the children went up to shake the hand of 95 year old Bert Willoughby and to thank him for coming.
