Agnes, the ARP (Air Raid Precaution) warden put Year 6 through their paces and taught them all about the Blackout and different attacks that Britain suffered during the Blitz. Bombs were disposed of safely, uniforms were modelled and sirens were sounded. Responding quickly to the gas attack siren was an essential part of their training, and a lot of fun was had ensuring that they could all put on their gas masks quickly and efficiently.
As well as exploring and admiring some of the most iconic aircraft in the world (Spitfires, a Lancaster and the fastest ever Concorde... to name but a few) the children were able to get hands-on experience of real World War II artefacts and talk to experts.
Not only was the day extremely enjoyable I think everyone, including the adults, learnt something too!
