Year 4 Trip, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 12th Sep 2018 @ 8:17am
The Bongos had a wonderful day out learning more about World War 1. Their first visit of the day was to The Museum of Lancashire where they were met by a WW1 soldier and a volunteer nurse. They spent the morning learning about life in the trenches whilst sitting in a replica trench and learning about the role of the volunteer nurses and how casualties were treated on the battle field.
The afternoon was spent at the Lancashire Military Museum. On arrival the class were met by a Colour Sergeant and a Sergeant who put them through their paces with a 40 minute drill session. Next the children learnt about uniforms, signed joining up papers and recited their oath to the king.
