Year 6 World War 2 trip to Tatton Park:
We spoke to Rorra to find out more about the Year 6 trip to Tatton Park and what they did‘All the class got dressed up as evacuee’s so we could how they would have dressed at the time. When
the siren went off we all had to run to the air raid shelter as they would have done at the time.’
‘We all got to see and have a go at the jobs that people would have done on the farm when we visited
Aunt Mary’s cottage. It was good to see how the horses worked on
the farm and how they helped with jobs.’
‘While in the air raid shelter we sung lots of songs as they would
have done as it was not good to be silent in the air raid shelter’
‘With us having gas masks and going in the air raid shelter it made it
seem like it was happening now in Manchester and that made it seem
very real’
‘We all had lots of fun at Tatton Park!’
