Are you ready to visit the Imperial War Museum(north)?

All of year 5 and 6 are heading to the Imperial War Museum in Manchester today. With the aim of benefitting their learning experiences around the topic ‘Lest We Forget’, in which the children have already begun delving into the historical importance of WW1 and it’s remembrance. The museum visit will provide an excellent opportunity to see how this fits into modern and past conflicts and the impact on our lives.

It’s an early start with children required in school at 8:20 for an 8:30 departure. We should hopefully (traffic permitting) be back at school around 4:30. Children can be picked up from the main hall fire exit, outside reception.

As soon as you get back Y5/6 – let us know what you learned and enjoyed at the museum.

I learned in the Imperial War Museum that when a gas attack happened the baby had a socket and you pumped a pump 40 times a minute. I mostly enjoyed learning about the Cold War, the war started in1936 and ended in 1990 and I also loved when I saw the whole of Manchester.

The trip to the Imperial War Museum were fantastic. I learnt that the Germans attacked the fortness of Verdem to bleed France white. Germany planned to inflict such enormous losses on the French that they would be unable to continue the war. My favourite part were going to the veiwing platform because we could see Corantion Street,BBC and Itv. It was a wonderful experiance and I would love to go again.

I don’t know about you but I certainly had a fantastic time at the Imperial War Museum in Manchester. The exhibits were excellent. Covering WW1, WW2 and a wide range of conflicts up to the present day. The thing that sticks with me the most was actually from WW2 – a section about the concentration camps. It’s hard to believe that around 6 million Jews were killed during the war. One town in Poland that before the war had a Jewish population of 200000 had only 800 survive. This really made me see how horrible the World Wars were.

The Inperial war musiem was the best trip ever. The best bit about the trip was the picture shows . I liked them because it was good how they made the pictures move from screen to screen. The part I didn’t like was the high walk because I don’t like hights.

My dad went to that concentration camp in Poland called Auswitz and he said it was very eerie and sad.
