P4 had a great day on Wednesday on their trip to Castle Ward. They went back in time to May 1945 the day after the war was over and met different characters including Agnes the land girl, Polly the Cook and Sadie the Nursery maid. They learnt about life for Margaret and John the evacuees who were evacuated to Castle Ward during the war. They planted beans as part of the ‘Dig for Victory’ campaign, played with old toys in the nursery, packed the evacuee’s suitcase and came across some usual war time recipes in the kitchen including vinegar cake and carrot cookies! It was a fantastic day out and we would like to say a big thank you to all the parent volunteers who came along! ~
