Visit to Whittington Barracks
Posted by Admin on Friday, 22 January 2016Our school trip to Whittington Barracks was “absolutely stunning”. The years 4 to 6 went on the Thursday 21st January. We left school at 9.30am in cars and arrived in 20 minutes. We were split into two groups, one with a high ranking army man and the other with an elderly couple who lived and fought through the Second World War. Group one first learnt about weapons and uniforms while group two learnt about rationing and evacuations. It was great fun when group two heard an air raid siren and went in an Anderson shelter. Both groups learned about guns, bombs and uniforms in the weapon room.
