Today we went to the Devil’s Porridge museum to learn more about World War 1 and 2.<\/p>\n
First we had a snack to ensure that no one was hangry and so that everyone would listen carefully.<\/p>\n
Secondly, one group watched short films made by a primary school. The films were about the war.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile the other group were downstairs looking at the items from the munitions factory.<\/p>\n
The chemicals turned some of the workers skin yellow and some even gave birth to babies with yellow skin.<\/p>\n
The cordite had the look of brown noodles and was wound into the shells.<\/p>\n
The workers could not go into the factory wearing anything metal or it could cause an explosion.<\/p>\n
The King visited and even he had to take off his shoes and wear rubber shoes to go around the factory.<\/p>\n
We were allowed to take a scratch and sniff card…it smelled of cordite. It smelt disgusting. I would not want to work in that smell all day.<\/p>\n
Kye enjoyed trying on the gas masks and even a wool uniform.<\/p>\n
Yasmin enjoyed listening to the stories that were around the museum about ordinary people affected by the war.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A good trip – we enjoyed it!<\/p>\n
Please visit one day and support a local museum.<\/p>\n
