WOODCHURCH GOES TO WAR
(MUSEUM IN MANCHESTER)

On Friday 22nd February 2008, the History Department took 40 Year 9 pupils to visit the Imperial War Museum North in Manchester. Pupils looked at exhibits from World War One and World War Two (not Mr Thompson and Mr Baker!) and examined the impact that engineering and technology have had on warfare. The very impressive ‘Big Picture Shows’ highlighted what life was like on the Home Front in World War Two, and how children have been, and continue to be affected by war. The 161 steps to the top of the Air Shard may have proved a strenuous climb (except for those who took the lift instead) but the views were worth the effort. One visitor was so impressed with our fantastic pupils that she asked Mr Thompson whether we were from a state school or a private school. When I said Woodchurch was a state comprehensive she appeared a little surprised. I wasn’t. As usual, our pupils were excellent and a credit to the school.
