Trip to Eden Camp

Years 5 and 6 went to Eden Camp to find out about life during World War Two.  The camp is comprised of 29 huts equipped to tell the story of World War II through the use of sights, sounds and smells. The museum covers life on the Front Line as well as the Home Front and is set in the grounds of an original World War 2 Prisoner of War Camp.  The children visited all of the huts, as well as spending time in the mess eating lunch.  They enriched their World War 2 topic by discovering more about life during the war and the different roles which people played to work together to bring about peace. They experienced what it might be like in a U-boat, walked down a wartime street and even had a sing-a-long in the music hall! The children behaved really well and were very respectful of the camp.
