Y3 and Y4 go to war
on Cannock Chase!

A visit to Cannock Chase War Museum means that you actually get to try on trench coats. Possibly a size too big for this pupil! She'll grow into it.

Now will the hat catch on?

A bit long in the sleeve.
On the tables behind, equipment needed in the trenches.

Gas masks were a vital piece of equipment

A different style of gas mask. They even had special ones for babies

The warden's helmet.
The warden made sure people in towns got into the bomb shelters when the sirens sounded and told them when it was safe to come out.

Whistles and bells also part of the equipment

Waving victory flags

The baby's gas mask

Posters from the time

The children had opportunities to act in role in Drama sketches
