THE museum set up by Lochgelly High School pupils captured the imagination of the visitors to Thursday's event.

The museum was part of the Cowdenbeath-Lochgelly area paying its respects to those who lost their lives during the Great War as the 100th anniversary of its end was commemorated on Sunday.

Pupils were showing their parents/carers and members of the local community the work they had produced based on their learning of the First World War.

The museum they had constructed consisted of displays of work, essays, posters and comic strips, war films, tarsia puzzles, artefacts, propaganda posters and interactive exhibits including using the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website to discover details about people from the local community who were killed.

Said Shelley Nicolson, PTC for Social Studies at the school: "We were delighted by the support of the community and grateful to them for allowing our students the opportunity to showcase their knowledge and enhance their leadership skills.

"We had some excellent feedback throughout the night with many people commenting on how confident the pupils seemed and how knowledgeable and passionate they were about the content.

"Our pupils had a real appreciation and respect for the subject matter and have hosted a memorable event that they can be proud of."

Among the visitors was former local MP and Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, who aired his pleasure at the quality of the museum.

The visitors to the museum came from all over the Central Fife area and they all had a very enjoyable experience.
