AQA GCSE History: The IMperial War Museum Aim High Study Day
What’s this all about then?
The Oxford Revise team welcomed 80 AQA GCSE History students to the Imperial War Musem for the first Aim High Study Day, to explore the topic Conflict and tension: the inter-war years, 1918-1939.
What happened throughout the day?
After getting settled with their workshop packs which included an Oxford Revise guide, there were interactive sessions lead by Richard and Ellen. These looked at Peacemaking, The League of Nations and the origins and outbreak of the Second World War.
Next it was time to explore the galleries and follow a trail created to make sure that they saw some of the key exhibits that bring this period of history to life.
After lunch, they put all their knowledge to practise, focussing on revision and exam techniques that lift their preparation to the next level!
