Year 6 had a fantastic day out at Nothe Fort, arriving dressed as 1940s evacuees to bring their history topic to life.

 The children threw themselves into wartime experiences, braving the loud sounds of an air raid inside an Anderson shelter and working together to put out a mock fire using a traditional stirrup pump.

They also discovered how challenging daily chores used to be by trying out old-fashioned washing equipment, inspecting sparse wartime kitchen rations, handling pre-decimal coins, and browsing a replica 1940s corner shop.

 Well done to all of Year 6 for their enthusiasm and brilliant costumes!
