Yorkshire Wartime Experience – Year 6

To round off our topic on World War 2, we all went down to the Yorkshire Wartime Experience at Hunsworth on Friday 6Th July. The sun was shining so we made sure we had plenty of water with us and suncream on. It was such an amazing day and we got to hold and examine many artefacts such as sirens, uniforms and weaponry. As we arrived, soldiers were there and shouted at us to get into line. If we weren’t quiet or in a straight line then we had to do push ups. We hope the teachers don’t get those ideas back at school! Lucy and Nathan got to turn the siren to see how loud they could make it. Of course, being highly competitive, Mrs Smith had to have a go. She put all of her energy into it and made it so loud that we had to cover our ears! Even though we have been studying WWII, there were items and information from WWI and modern wars. We got to see what life was like in the WWI trenches and how the men had to survive while the rain poured and they were constantly under fire. The tanks and military vehicles were amazing and we even got to get a ride in some. At lunch time, we ate our packed lunches while listening to 1940’s singers and entertainers. They were super. We all joined in and began to dance to the music. Overall it was a fantastic trip and Mrs Smith even treated us to an ice cream so we could cool off.

Over the weekend, the event continued and they had a fly over from a Lancaster Bomber – many of us saw this as it did its fly over – spectacular!
