Year 3 explosion!!

On Wednesday 18th November 2009, Year 3 had a hands-on taster of what life would have been like during World War 2.

The had a fun-packed day visiting two museums - Explosion Museum of Naval Firepower amd SEARCH Living History Museum, both of which are in Gosport.

At Explosion, the children were able to get up close to, and even touch, examples of naval firepower through the ages. They learned about the site of the museum, Priddy's Hard, and had a chance to set off the air raid siren in the education centre.



The children became museum curators at SEARCH, where they explored objects from history, and used clues in the World War 2 kitchen to help them decide whether the objects were from that period or not. They also hid in an Anderson Shelter during one of the air raid sirens.
