Q
What impact did this have on Key Stage 1?
A
- Simple but effective way of allowing the audience to follow the narrative as it moved location and time.
- Enabled the audience to see what he was viewing. We quickly understood the strong relationship that Albert had with Joey and how much he loved riding him.
- Hugely symbolic - we instantly understood the huge loss of life and the poppies allowed us to remember how many lives were lost and the great sacrifice that these men made.
