5/6 Teignmouth Trip5 November 2018 (by admin) |
Today, the Inventors and Pioneers visited the Teignmouth Heritage Centre and went on a guided walk around the town.
The purpose of this visit was to explore the impact WW2 had on Teignmouth. The children participated in a variety of workshops which focused on rationing, rag rugging, Morrison shelters, the Lambeth Walk, the role of the ARP (Air Raid Precautions) and interacted with artefacts in the museum. The children also went on a guided walk around town where they were shown how different buildings, structures and the landscape were changed as a result of the 'tip and run' air raids. The children investigated the names of local civilians and soldiers on the memorials that now stand as a lasting tribute to these brave men and women.
