Imperial War Museum North

Today we visited the IWM North. We were really excited to revisit our learning on WW1 and we added to our knowledge of WW2. We learned about the effects of war and the value of peace. We also got to take part in a two minute silence at 11am to mark Armistice Day.

A real Lowry painting!

Whilst at the IWM North, the eagle-eyed children spotted an original Lowry painting! We spent time looking at the figures and discussed the inspiration for the painting being WW2. What joy this was to see as we studied this artist in Autumn 1!
