Visit to Kent Life
Jupiter spend the day at Kent Life Museum in Maidstone and they were evacuated back to 1939! The children really got in to the spirit of things by dressing as WW2 evacuated children and spent the day learning about life in the 1940's during the war and even learnt how to make a rug using old rags. It was a fantastic day and thoroughly enjoyed by all!

This was a lesson with an RAF Navigation controller who taught us how to plot a route on the map and identify where the German’s would be likely to drop their bombs!
