YEAR eight pupils at Sharples High School have been studying the horrific trade of slavery after the success of 12 Years A Slave at the Oscars.
They learned about how slaves were treated before launching their own mock campaign for the abolition of the slave trade using only the communication methods available in the 1800s.
Each group showcased its work with many performing short drama pieces, songs and poems.
