Year 6 Trip to Gressenhall

Our first school trip of the year was a great success!

On Wednesday 11th October, Year 6 ventured back in time to the peak of World War 2. Roleplaying as evacuees who were stuck at Gressenhall, they were given the chance to live and understand the way evacuees would have lived during their time there, as well as see some of the roles and responsibilities of adults still in England. They put on their scariest war faces as they worked with the home guard, looked at the limited food resources due to rationing (plus the importance of bartering and 'digging for victory'), explored the importance of the WLA and felt what it was like to go into an Anderson shelter (see picture.) A thrilling day with lots of learning. Year 6 really stepped up and took everything in well. Big thank you to Mr Nicholson and Mrs Massen who supervised the trip.

Well done Year 6!

We are very proud of you!
