Year 4/5 enjoyed a fantastic day out in South Shields. We travelled by metro back in time. We were evacuated with our names tags and learnt lots about life in WW2. Sarah, the learning officer was very impressed with our knowledge. We were really lucky to handle and learn about lots of original artefacts.

We enjoyed dressing up in wartime clothes and experimenting with different rations.

We also became Museum Detectives and completed some very challenging maths problems to crack the code. Once we had the code, we could stop the Phantom Claw from destroying the artefacts.

We loved seeing the Creature Corner and all the exotic animals. We saw a huge snake and lots of tarantulas.
