SOMME PROGRAM FORMBY HIGH SCHOOL

Sounding the Somme Project

Ellen Thomson and Laura Rossi led a Sounding the Somme teacher training session at Formby High school with teachers and a workshop with music students.

The music students created their own compositions which were recorded and screened before the concert and the art and history department put on a display of their Somme work at the live screening.

Here are some photos of their work taken by Formby High School Creative Ambassadors:
