War Memorial Museum Visit Year 4

Today, Primary 4 enjoyed a fascinating visit from a representative of The War Memorial Museum in Belfast as part of their topic on World War II.  The session was packed with interesting facts about WWII and the Belfast Blitz. The children saw photographs of the Home Guard, evacuees, and even an aerial view of the Belfast shipyard where ships and bombs used in the war were built.

 

There were lots of amazing artefacts to explore, including gas masks and helmets. At the end, everyone had the chance to try on the helmets, hold the gas masks, and even clang the gas rattle!

 

It was an incredible experience – thank you to the museum for bringing history to life for us!
