Tuesday 12th January History
Can you remember all of the communication methods from last lesson?
Watch the video below to find out how messenger pigeons were used for communication in World War 1.
Human messengers travelled on foot or horseback to pass on handwritten notes, and groups of people could also send messages to others nearby using signals created with smoke, fire, drums and whistles. They used trained carrier pigeons to deliver messages over long distances. These pigeons have been bred to find their way home. They can do this over very long distances.
Follow these instructions to create your own carrier pigeon.
Once you have completed your messenger pigeon, attach a small message and fly it outside to the person that the message is for. I would love to see pictures of what you have created! class.twoteacher@taw.org.uk
