P5 - Holding History

2nd Apr 2026

P5 had a wonderful day exploring real WW2 artefacts, including medals, grenades, ration books, recipe books, weapons, uniforms, and much more. We were able to see, handle, and closely examine each item, which truly brought history to life for us. It was an unforgettable, hands-on learning experience that helped deepen our understanding of the past.

A huge thank you to Sean from Holding History for sharing these incredible artefacts and giving us such an engaging session.
