On Monday and Tuesday, Year 6 had a fantastic time visiting the local RAF Heritage Museum. We were greeted by 4 gentlemen, one of which was dressed in full army attire, who led sessions in each of the rooms. There were a range of rooms for the children to explore: First World War Room, an Officers' Mess, Home Front Room, Bomber Command Room, Map Room, Battle of Britain Room and corridors filled with an abundance of artefacts, posters and information leaflets. Aeroplanes hung from the ceiling, pilot outfits were available to try on, maps of the Hornchurch runways were explained, a traditional WWII living room was set up and a whole lot more was available.
It was truly amazing and the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
