As part of our dimensions topic ‘War of The Worlds’ year 5 went on a trip to Eden Camp.
The children learnt how the modern history museum was originally a prisoner of war camp. They explored the the different huts which covered different aspect of the war, starting with the rise of the Nazi Party, Hitler and The Outbreak of War. Other topics include: Rationing, Evacuees, The Blitz, Air Raid, Animals at War and Women at War ect.
The trip allowed the children to deepen their understanding of history and the impact of WWI & WWII. Overall, they had a great day out with a few ice creams and gifts from the gift shop.
