Redbridge Museum (3D)

On the 12th June year 3 drove on a school-trip to Redbridge Museum to find out information on World War II.

First 3D had to to go to Redbridge Museum and in the afternoon the other class, 3F, had to go.

First 3D got ready then we set off. Before we could go, the coach broke-down and the engine was not working. So we had to wait a little while. Then the coach was working, so we set off. It took approximately took 20 minutes to get their.

When we arrived at the Redbridge Museum we had to walk up one set of stairs, then we went into a lovely room.

Next we saw a lovely lady called Susan. She looked quite polite. Susan asked us if we knew how many countries were involved in World War II and lots of questions. It was really fun.

There was a shelter and it was called an Anderson Shelter. Inside the Anderson Shelter all of the metal was all rusty and crusty and looked very old. The Anderson Shelter was quite small and only about 2 people could fit in it.

In the museum we went to an upper-part and we got clip-boards and we had to fill in all the answers from what we knew and what Susan had told us. It was quite fun.

I felt a bit sad because all of the soldiers had to fight and sacrifice their lives just to save us and it must of been so hard to live because you had to wear a gas-mask and rationing was going on.
