Our Year 9 pupils embarked on a school trip today to the Imperial War Museum in Manchester. Here, they examined the sources, stories and scholarship surrounding all aspects of modern warfare – such as World War I, World War II, the Cold War and the War on Terror – which compliments and concludes their Key Stage 3 studies in Year 9 History.
Pupils witnessed exhibits such as the remnants of the 9/11 World Trade Centre attacks, Harrier Jump Jets from the Middle East, decommissioned nuclear weapons from the Cold War and tanks, clothing and other real artefacts from World War I and II.
This was a fascinating field trip which showed pupils that History is not just confined to textbooks and classrooms, but is constantly being shaped in the world around us each and every day.
