HELLO! Today P6/7 went to the Devil’s Porridge (a World War 1 and 2 museum). We checked out WW1 on the bottom floor, where we saw equipment used in the trenches, the height of the trenches, an multiple interactive screens that sometimes had games or recorded audio from WW1. We also saw how the “Devil’s Porridge” was made (The Devil’s Porridge is a substance that was said to look like porridge, and it was used to kill people, therefore earning the nickname, Devil’s Porridge. .Every time that we had to move on to another activity, an authentic Air Raid Siren would sound. We then watched some films made by Eastbriggs Primary and Secondary schools. We then did 3 activities, where we looked at a WW2 kitchen, evacuee facts and clothes, and the bombing on Gretna, in which 28 people lost their lives. We were then allowed free time to explore the Second Floor after eating our lunch. Continuing on, we checked out an Anderson shelter, which could fit all of us. Then we were allowed to spend £5 in the gift shop, Caspian got a pencil and a planecil sharpener (plane pencil sharpener) and Noah got one too, along with a badge.
