A staggering 51 students stayed behind after school to hear me ramble on for an hour and in this special edition of the Pod, you can sit in there with them and learn a little something about the Russian Revolution.

The Gilberd History Department Presents...PLANES!

In the words of Eminem, "Guess who's back, back again..." that's right, it's Past Voices! Our final 'student led' episode for a while before we move onto series one which will look at the personal history of some of the staff of The Gilberd School...with their permission I might add. In the meantime, why not listen to this very informative episode about the history of flight from three of our year 8 students: very knowledge young men indeed. As always, you can get in touch on twitter @pastvoicespod and the email is pastvoicespod@gmail.com. Picture courtesy of www.wright-brothers.org
