Imperial War Museum

We had a great day at the Imperial War Museum, North.

The museum taught us about World War 1 and 2 through interactive activities and genuine artefacts. The children were excited by the tanks, planes and barrage balloons and were humbled by the extraordinary stories of people who had experienced wartime.

We became journalists and documentary makers around the museum, and were awed by the interactive films and poetry.

Meeting a war veteran

We learnt about life with a guide dog when we met a war veteran on Remembrance Day.

Learning from primary sources

We were able to explore photographs, medals and other artefacts from one of our children's great and great-great-grandparents who served in the First and Second World War. A huge thank you to Mrs Bond's mother for coming in to talk to us about her father and grandfather's time in the wars and share their moving stories with us.
