My Museum Day by Ellie

At our Museum Day, my station focussed on WW2 food and rationing. We had lots of information on display and were handing our food from the war such as: wartime loaf, carrot cookies, and a basic meal (we could not eat that as it was for display purposes). To get your rations, you went to your nearest corner shop. Some of the brands that were around during the war can still be found today, for example Spam. One display we had showed what a ration book looked like. I think our Museum Day was a roaring success because we received good feedback.

 

My Museum Day by Johanna

I was at the Rationing station, which was packed with information and treats which parents could try. We had spam that could last 3 years; wartime loaf which contained no eggs; carrot cookies cooked by Mrs Gregg and wartime sweets such as pear drops and mints. Everyone enjoyed our station and gave great feedback. I truly enjoyed our War Museum and it was certainly our best, owing to the fact that everyone contributed and did their best.

Homefront and Propaganda

 

This exhibit display focussed on the Homefront and Propaganda. It was very interesting and educational. It was a wonderful experience learning about Dig for Victory, Propaganda and so on. It also had toys such as Scotty dogs and there were models of gas masks. I would have loved to attend!

My Museum Experience by Ibraheem

I loved the day as it was a fun time telling parents about the military and the homefront in WW2. At the military side of my station, we had an Avro Lancaster model on show. There are only two real-life examples on Earth. Plus, we had propaganda posters on show. These were used to encourage people to fight in the war. Meanwhile, at the homefront section, I was focussed on telling people about how people protected themselves during the bombing raids. There were two different types of shelters: an Anderson Shelter and a Morrison Shelter. The Morrison Shelter was used when you did not have a garden and it would protect you in case a bomb dropped on your house.

My exhibit display focussed on WW2 homework, it was amazing. In my station, my bit was to describe and tell people about the Anderson Shelters and Morrison Shelters. I especially enjoyed meeting people, dressing up as an evacuee and not forgetting our drama and songs. We literally had people in tears! I think it was the best Museum Day in the history of Museum Days!

 

What a triumph! P7 bring WW2 to life in this special Museum Day

On a wet Wednesday in November, P7 presented their Museum Showcase. The displays were well organised and professional manned by the P7 boys and girls. Parents and siblings strolled around enjoying the children regale them with tales from the war. To top off an already high-class event, the children presented a mini-drama on the evacuee experience and finished the day by singing 'We'll Meet Again' and 'The Cliffs of Dover'. Well done P7! Once again, you have made me very proud!
