Visit to St Machar's Academy history fair
On Wednesday volunteers Lynne, Norman and Linda, along with Volunteer Coordinator and Tour Lead Allie, were invited to take part in St Machar's Academy 'History Fair' for their S3 history students. The students have been tasked with creating an exhibition centred around informing people about World War One, with a focus on Aberdeen. We were one of 4 organisations asked to participate in the fair, and we very gladly spent a delightful morning telling students all about the Torry Battery's role during WW1.
Lynne, Norman and Linda have spent considerable time researching the history of the Battery, pulling together a variety of resources to help us start to build a vivid picture of the location and the people who lived there. It was wonderful to see them be able to share that knowledge with potential future historians!
A big thank you to Lynne, Norman and Linda for spending their Wednesday morning at St Machar's (they were amazing!), and for all the time they have spent pulling together this research!
A massive thank you to St Machar's Academy for inviting us along, we had a fantastic time, and we can't wait to see what the students create
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
