Imperial War Museum Visit for Year 10

For Year 10 students (and the sixth form supervisors), the following details apply for Friday's visit:

Meet at rear school gates straight after period 5 - 1252.

We will be walking to Sutton station to catch the next train to Elephant and Castle (there is one at 1306, but I suspect we will have to aim for the 1336)

On arrival at Elephant and Castle, we will be walking to the Imperial War Museum. Year 10 students will be placed in muster groups supervised by a sixth former.

At the IWM, the glories of this wonderful museum will be open to us to explore, marvel at and learn from.

GM and SS groups - you are advised to take notes and any photographs that could be useful for your later group presentations on the Home Front during World War 2. Some of the sixth form may also be able to advise on the best way to achieve eye-catching photos for use in presentations! Things to look for are - examples of propaganda, Home Defence, rationing, women at war, evacuation.

Although the focus is on World War 2, there will be time to see the Cold War gallery as well.

RETURN TIMES:
We will finish at the War Museum around 4pm, and aim to catch the 1630 train from Elephant and Castle, which gets in to Sutton at 1702. This train goes on Wimbledon, arriving there at 1719.
