This week, Prep 5 students had an insightful and enjoyable day for the WW2 themed WOW Day.
The day started with an air of excitement as Prep 5 students arrived at school dressed in their meticulously planned World War 2 outfits. Eager to delve into the activities ahead, they wasted no time in immersing themselves in the historical era. The baking session saw them creating delicious WW2 inspired cookies, while the language lesson on Japanese numbers and code breaking added a touch of mystery and intrigue to the day.
However, the highlight of the day came when Mr. Ingleby made a surprise visit with his authentic WW2 Jeep. The students were thrilled at the opportunity to climb inside the iconic vehicle and imagine themselves driving through wartime landscapes. This hands-on experience brought history to life in a way that textbooks simply couldn't.
As the day drew to a close, the children proudly showcased their model Anderson Shelters, a tangible reminder of the resilience and ingenuity of the people who lived through World War 2. Overall, the WOW Day was a resounding success, sparking a newfound passion for learning about this pivotal period in history among the students.
