WW2 VETERAN DAVID MYLCHREEST CAME TO OUR SCHOOL IN MARCH 2017 TO MEET PUPILS FROM A "EUROPEAN SECTION". THIS WAS THE OUTCOME: A WEBSITE IN ENGLISH!
The encounters and interviews took place in class. 7 groups came up with questions and Mr Mylchreest most patiently answered and explained what he went through as a child, during the war, then how he decided to come and live in Normandy.
