Year 6 Visit Chatham Docks

November 11, 2011
Year 6 stepped back in time on Wednesday when they visited Chatham Dockyard for a World War II experience. Excitement overwhelmed the Hacton historians as they eagerly participated in a range of activities which included exploring HMS Cavalier, dancing the jitterbug and spending time in an air raid shelter. Without a doubt the most popular activity was food tasting. Comparing modern food to WWII recipes helped the children appreciate the choices they have today...particularly where fish paste is concerned. No one can deny the trip was a resounding success with the only problem being the M25!
