On Wednesday, me, Tilly and Mom went to Duxford Air Museum! The day before, we had made some cool gas mask boxes which we used to store sweets in! We also had a refugee-girl outfit which made us look like orphans!

| Jumping! |
We went to have 2 "home ed" talks. The first one was about the Battle Of Britain. The guy giving us the talk was explaining about different tactics in the battle and how Britain won it.

| We tried on lots of hats but these ones were HEAVY! |
The second talk was meant to be about the people that go around the towns and cities, otherwise known as "air raid wardens" making sure all the lights are switched off. However, we went in the wrong group! We ended up in the school group, learning about refugee children. We wondered if we should leave but we stayed anyway! It was much quieter than a home ed group but not as much fun!
The teacher showed us a an old propaganda clip from a movie about refugee children. It made it look like an adventure! with all of the happy music and words like "Embarking on an adventure". The teacher also showed us some items like tea and old coffee pots. She explained how everything was rationed and how you only got a bag of 15 sweets a month!
We played in the park but it was full of school kids, so we kept out of the way!
Once we'd seen all of the talk and played in the park, we went to watch the planes flying. We saw spitfires taking off and we even got to see a helicopter land!
Later we went to the Sugar Mill for dinner.
