On Wednesday 18-3-15 the Year 6/7 class from Nativity travelled to the War Memorial. First we first met the staff who were going to give us the tour. Next we proceeded into the interactive museum part of the War Memorial, where we hopped in the helicopter, climbed into a submarine, experienced what it was like being in a trench, and saw many models and many other things. We were privileged to hear a veteran tell us stories about when he was in a war, see the Roll of Honour and the Unknown Soldier’s tomb, where we laid down a wreath as a sign of respect. There are guards at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. They guard for fifteen minutes and then have a break, then guard again for another fifteen minutes.                                                                                                         Overall it was an awesome experience and I would like to go back again 🙂 .
