Today, Year 6 were extremely lucky to have a visitor in class to enhance our WW2 History topic. Michael Thame is an author, who has dedicated his writing to his Grandfathers experiences in the war.

The children really enjoyed listening to the stories and interacting with different WW2 artefacts and having the opportunity to ask different questions relating to our WW2 topic.
