The Two Minute Silence
Almondbury High School Remembers
Almondbury High School
Students at Almondbury High School have been working with us on the subject of conflict and peace, and the meaning of the two-minute silence. Some of the students belong to a project called Bridge the Gap, which brings them into contact with a group of older people from the Huddersfield Deanery Project. They meet together once a week for various activities, which might include shopping, quizzes, or chatting over a cup of tea. During these get-togethers, the students have started interviewing their visitors about their war-time experiences, and their thoughts about war and peace. And they've been joined by some of those taking history as a GCSE subject. One of the interviews - with Mrs Maureen Wood - is already on this website, and we're hoping it will soon be joined by others. Because they took place in the sports building of the school, there's a fair bit of external noise - doors opening and closing, people doing PE next door, calling out to each other as they get ready to go home - but, there, that's school life for you, isn't it!
