Year 6 spent the day at the National Holocaust Centre in Newark, which was part of their learning for history on how the Holocaust affected peoples’ lives and how we can learn from it. The children listened to a real account of a man’s childhood under Nazi occupation and how he was part of the Kindertransport scheme. They listened intently and understood the significance of what they were listening to. As well as this, they explored a replica walk-through of a Jewish home, a school, a street during Kristallnacht and a damaged shop, following the journey of a boy called Leo. Our children were a credit to the school, they were extremely sensible and respectful and the guides on the tour expressed how impressed they were with the knowledge shown by the children and the maturity they behaved with. We are so proud of them!
