This week the children in Year 5 visited the Military museums as part of their History learning about World War 1.  They enjoyed various different workshops learning about the uniform of the soldiers, the vital role that horses played and the history of Winchester as a military city. 

 

The trip also included a visit to the Hampshire Regiment museum which linked to a research project which the children have been doing based on the soldiers who lived in the Hyde community.  They thoroughly enjoyed handling artefacts and trying on various different items of uniform and they were surprised to have so much history to explore so close to where they live!
