Year 6 enjoyed a wonderful visit from Verity at St Barbe Museum this afternoon, bringing their learning about World War Two and life on the Home Front to life!
The visit followed on beautifully from yesterday’s assembly, where the children proudly shared their learning so far. It was also particularly fitting during this week of Remembrance, as we reflect on the significance of 11 November and remember those who lived through times of conflict.
Verity brought along a fascinating collection of wartime artefacts for the children to explore, including maps from the time, old toys, compasses, food storage containers, evacuee boxes, gas masks and much more! The children loved having the opportunity to see these objects up close and discover more about what everyday life was like during the war.
One of the highlights of the afternoon was the chance to dress up in a range of outfits from the period. Don't they look fabulous!
It was a brilliant afternoon of hands-on learning, helping the children deepen their understanding of life on the Home Front and making this half term’s WW2 topic even more meaningful.
A huge thank you to Verity and St Barbe Museum for such an engaging and memorable afternoon!
