The First Meeting

 

German Pilot's Helmet
from World War 11 

The inaugural meeting of The Starcross History Club was held on St David's Day, Wednesday March 1st, in the Oystercatchers classroom at Starcross Primary School.

The meeting was led by Starcross Primary School teacher Mr Paul Collett, and Jon Nichol and Monica Lang from the Starcross History Society.

The children each drew a spider diagram to answer the question "What is History?" 

The children were allowed to examine closely an object (pictured above) supplied by Monica. What did they think of it? What did they think it was?  Mr Collett used their responses to fill in a spider diagram on the whiteboard

Your thoughts about this object 

The children were excited to realise that the object was a helmet, and they guessed that it was a Pilot's Helmet and talked about it being old and falling to pieces.
