WW2 Trip to Cardiff Castle

We had a great trip to Cardiff Castle to take part in some World War 2 activities.

First we learnt the songs We'll Meet Again and Hey, Little Hen, which we later performed with Class 6. Then we were met by an ARP warden, who told us about his role. We then went into the Air Raid shelters of the Castle. Finally, we had an interesting talk about many aspects of the war, such as gas masks, incendiary devices, the bombing of Cardiff etc. We even had the opportunity to use a stirrup pump to put out a 'fire'!
