Today our class went on an interesting trip to the Gordon Highlanders Museum. As you know our topic is World War 2. When we got there we watch short film about wold war 2 then we were split into 3 groups. Our leader was called Elsbeth. In our group was Morgan, Ewan S, Stevie, Jasmine, Olivia, Lennon, Katy, Fadimana, Sophie and Me (Finlay).

The first station that I went to was about lots of things through the times starting from the 1700’s. We saw a brilliant picture about the man who started The Gordon highlanders. Soon we moved on to a model building, moreover we saw men in the houses and a completely trashed street. Next we saw lots of medals each one with a different meaning.

Then for the next fifteen minutes we had a break therefore I had Crisps and looked at a few of the models. (WW1 trenches)

On to our next station, Elsbeth gave us some post cards and letters, with the information that there was we had to find a mystery soldier, I enjoyed this part of the trip because it was exciting and interesting to find knew facts about a person who fought in World War 2 for the Gordons. We came back through the corridor to a place which was loved by Lennon. It was a room of guns. There were big guns to small guns, even pistols, beside all the machinery there was loads of drawers full of medals. The man said in the whole of the museum there is round about 10 to 15,000 medals. We went back upstairs for our next station which was going to be …

Our final station was the clothes and who wore them. Ewan was the volunteer to put the clothes on; this was really fun to see. Elsbeth showed us the things the men needed to wear and some things that they needed to take when abroad , she showed us some more guns (they were quite heavy). We wore the clothes, I took the uniform and the boots.

Finally I would just like to say that it was a fantastic trip and that I would come back again.

Thanks Finlay
