Y6 Duxford IWM

 

On Wednesday 18th March, Year 6 went on an exciting school trip to the Imperial War Museum Duxford. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by incredible aircraft, tanks, and exhibitions that brought history to life in a thrilling way.

We started our visit with a guided tour of the WW2 aircraft where the children explored and then created documentaries about the WW2 planes. It was amazing to hear how these aircraft played a crucial role during wartime.

We explored the Battle of Britain Exhibition, where we learned about the brave pilots who defended Britain during World War II. Seeing the planes they flew and listening to real stories of their experiences made us truly appreciate their courage and sacrifice.

We also explored the Land Warfare Hanger and Ameri, where we saw tanks and military vehicles used throughout history. Walking through the recreated war trenches gave us a real sense of what life was like for soldiers on the battlefield.

We also took a walk on Concorde! 

This trip was not only educational but also incredibly inspiring. Seeing history up close helped us understand the importance of those who fought for our freedom.
