We have travelled back in time today on our field trip to Barton on Humber .
We started the day finding out where we were being billeted to and looking at the houses where we would stay.
We then had a 1930s lesson in the classroom and wrote our postcards home. Unfortunately the air raid siren went off and we had to shelter in the school shelter.
After lunch, we learnt more about the Home Front and why children were called Churchill’s Cogs. We practised salvaging materials, looked at real gas masks and learnt what people kept in an Anderson Shelter box!
It has been a brilliant experience and we really have come face to face with the past!
It was a great day and we have all learnt so much.
