Today the Year 6 went to TMHS to see two air
raid shelters. It was fascinating! Mrs Moore told us aout the old Head teacher
from SRH – she went to church every Sunday and then on to see her sister. But
one day she was ill and she couldn’t go to church and a German pilot, returning
from war, he didn’t want a bomb in his plane, so he dropped it on her house. We
went into two air raid shelters, one was a museum and the other had chairs and
benches-it was very dark. My favourite part of the day was when we looked at
the artefacts like bayonets and grenades, water pumps and letters and then we
went back to our school. It was a very fun trip.
Fact: Bayonets were used in WWI and WWII

Today, Year 6 went to TMHS to see the air
raid shelters they have there. When we arrived in the classroom there were lots
of things to look at like: an old grenade, a gas mask and some cook books. Some
of the letters were hard to read because they had very neat and curly
handwriting. Next, we all pretended that we were really evacuating and we all
rushed into the air raid shelter. It was very strange sitting on the handmade
bench in the dark shelter. My favourite part of the day was looking at the
ration books and the cooking books, they had very interesting food recipes that
sounded disgusting.
