Imperial War Museum visit

Misca G, Year 8 built some cultural capital by visiting the Imperial War Museum North........

"I made a badge about the Air Raid Recruits with words like 'bravery' 'time' 'responsibility' 'courage' and 'team' . I chose these as all of these characteristics were needed to become Air Raid Recruits. In the temporary exhibition I saw pictures of Holocaust survivors and I saw my brother's friend in one of the pictures with his Grandpa. In the main exhibition my brother and I played on the interactive activities, my favourite was about breaking codes.  I learnt about Captain Ronnie Horner, who hid his diary in his suitcase when he was taken as a Prisoner of War.  Flora Sanders was awarded the Siberian order of Karageogre for her bravery. She was the only British woman to fight in WW1."
