On Thursday P7 went to Devil’s Porridge a WW1/2  museum in Eastriggs to continue our WW1 topic. When we got there, we went inside and up to a learning room where we watched a power point before going of in three groups. One group went downstairs to a factory learning section, where we learned about what girls did when men were away fighting. We learned that they made cordite ()the stuff inside a bullet and if they drop anything in, it could blow up! While one group did that another group learned about the jobs girls did  in WW1 like be police, nurses and  factory workers. When they finished work, they liked to go to the cinema, go on a train to Carlisle and socialise. The other group did object handling – they got to hold guns, try on helmets, put on outfits and got to hold a sword. When we were leaving we got to take a picture on SIR JAMES (a train). It was really fun at Devil’s Porridge I would love to go back.
