Last week, Year 6 visited the RAF Heritage Museum in Hornchurch to continue their learning of WWII. The children were shown around different rooms, including: the Officers' mess, the Homefront room and the WAAF room. As each room had a different focus, they were full of different stories, artefacts, pictures and mannequins for the children to explore.
The children also had the opportunity to try on different outfits from WWII and they enjoyed handling artefacts, including an old fireplace that was leant on by RAF Hornchurch pilots! One of the highlights of the day was experiencing the loud alert of an air-raid siren!
It really was an eye-opening experience and the children loved hearing stories told by our local historians.
