Stories and history: ‘What’s in a name’? Following our interdisciplinary topic storytelling, the students in MYP years 3, 4 and 5 discover the history of the Great War, also known as the first Word War – this war was meant to be the final war, the war to end all the wars? Who could have predicted that, despite the ‘good’ intentions after the Great War, the world needed to suffer a Second World war, a cold war and several more?
During a 2-day trip to Ypres, the students will discover the stories of people living during the Great War. We’ll visit In Flanders Field Museum, we’ll attend the Last Post Ceremony at the Menen Gate and we’ll discover what remains of the battle fields and trenches by bike.
During this trip, we’ll discuss the concept of Peace”– how and can we learn from the past? Which elements shaped our present? What do we need to do to avoid conflicts? How can our story of life create a better world?
