Year 6: History

October 20, 2022
The horrific weather may have put a stop to our Year 6 pupils going on their trip to Hornchurch Country Park; however, Mr Manning did not let the rain stop him from sharing his wealth of knowledge with the Year 6 pupils. Instead of going to the park, our Year 6 pupils learnt all about the planes flown from and to Hornchurch during WWII, some of the pilots, the different weapons that were used and how people kept themself safe when they were being shot at. The children were even lucky enough to see some of the artefacts that Mr Manning owns.
