Hello everyone! Our current study has moved into WW2 so we decided to visit a local POW camp in Hearn. We started at the mock guards tower,
Then we moved into a mock barracks which they had set up to look like the original
A map of what the camp originally looked like
The soldier is wearing the coat of one of the men who actually worked there, and Iris is wearing a real helmet.
Then we got to the the excting part, the escape room, our operative was to stop a German escape before it happened.
We were the first group of kids to succeed, and the second to ever finish.
Then we found the old cars, ones that had been used for work on the camp, the tour lady said we could climb on them, and the boys had a blast!
Garrison “repairs the engines.”
Ace finds a “bomb” (an old car part)
Lance and Alexa recreated the camp in rocks while the boys played.
Until next time!
