Year 5: Imperial War Museum Trip

October 19, 2022
What a way to end our topic with a visit to the Imperial War Museum near Waterloo. The children had the fun and excitement of taking two trains into the city and thoroughly enjoyed physically seeing the many artefacts that we have been learning about - they were particularly awestruck by the sheer size of some of the WW1 artefacts! The WW1 exhibit was engaging, moving and thought-provoking; another fantastic experience to add to our WW1 topic. 


We managed to get a whole year group photo beneath some of the old naval guns. These guns could fire a shell (bigger than the children!) from Waterloo to nearly Hornchurch itself.
