Inside we were kindly greeted by a jolly lady called Sandra. She took us upstairs to a room and introduced her staff.
The first thing we did there was a short quiz. Then, 6 of our class (6B) could pin-point the places that were at war in WWII. After that's Sandra explained some more about the war, then we were separated into 2 groups, my group stayed in the room and learnt more about rationing and the amount of food rationed in a week for 1 person. Then, she showed us the things someone had packed for evacuation.
Then we went to the second part where Sandra showed us a piece of shrapnel. It was heavier than I thought! There was even an Anderson Shelter that had been given to the museum by someone local that we were allowed to go in!
When we went upstairs , to the other group, we had a quiz using information from people's stories.
The day went by so quickly (time flies when your'e having fun!). I would love to do something like this again. The thing I liked most was the model house, it impressed me thoroughly - it was so real!
