Children in Form 1 at St Benedict’s Junior School, Ealing, began the term with an exciting trip to the Forties Experience, Bushey. Everyone travelled back in time to the days of the Blitz, making a stunning start to this term’s World War Two topic, ‘We’ll Meet Again’. Class teacher Emma Kottler said: ‘There could be no better introduction to the language and themes of the topic they will be exploring over the coming weeks.’ The children saw a typical house from the period, complete with household luxuries such as a mangle and a wireless, and found out how people made the most of their food rations. They also huddled into an Anderson shelter, wore gas masks and had a lesson in gardening.
