Evacuated!
 
Year 6 had a fabulous day out this week at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway! The children enjoyed a steam train ride from Winchcombe to Broadway and back again. On the train they participated in a ‘war-time song’ session and were even tasked with locating and capturing a spy! Back at Winchcombe we heard war stories from Farmer Bill. We went to school and experienced a variety of primary historical artefacts - including toys and clothes. We experienced a black-out air raid and even got the chance to be fire-fighters by playing an exciting team game. The children looked wonderful in their 1940s evacuee costumes and they enjoyed their war-time lunch. The weather turned out to be just glorious. It was a really successful day; full of fun and laughter and happy memories.
