Local schools have responded enthusiastically to projects commemorating the 1914-18 conflict. One of them did especially well in a
special competition sponsored by the Chairman of East Devon District
Council to mark the centenary.
Pupils at
St Peter’s Primary School in Budleigh Salterton were asked by their teachers to
choose a World War One assignment based on links to the local area. Some chose
to research a name from a local war memorial or to write about the local impact
of the conflict.
This is
what nine-year-old Sophia Rehbock did:
At
EDDC’s Annual Council Meeting on 14 May 2014, Council Chairman Graham Godbeer
awarded certificates to the winning schools. Sophia’s school came first in the
Primary School category.
Many of
Fairlynch’s volunteers work all-year round even when Fairlynch is closed. They
are always ready to investigate the archives and offer information, especially
to young people with school projects like Sophia.
