On Thursday 6th July, Year 4 went to Shugborough Hall to take part in ‘The Blitz experience’.The children and adults had a super day taking part in many exciting activities, such as a gas mask drill, a simulated air raid and learning the ‘Lambeth Walk!

Many thank to the adults who assisted on our trip. Also, to the children whose behaviour was excellent. We even had compliments from members of the public on the sensible behaviour of our children.

A good day was had by all, see our experiences in the Gallery.
