On Tuesday, Year 6 went on a trip to the Coventry Museum. When we arrived at our location, we entered the museum which was filled with amazing facts about World War Two. We saw actual artefacts which were used during Word War Two and luckily a selection of our class members were given the opportunity to try some of the uniforms on and use some of the equipments. We were also fortunate enough to visit a air raid shelter which was located in the museum, which was used during the Blitz in World War Two. The children found this experience especially exciting as it helped them to understand what some of the children during WWII went through.

In addition to this, Year 6 were given the opportunity to explore transport which was used during WWII and recieved a talk by one of the museum staff on the evacuee experience of children during World War Two. Some children were given the opportunity to dress up in actual World War Two clothes and wore additional accessories which an evacuee would have used during this period (for example gas masks, name tags, etc).

Overall the children thoroughly enjoyed their visit and here are some pictures that captured their experience.
