Our trip to East Fortune
13 11 2007
We all certainly looked the part on our trip to the Museum of Flight. Thankfully there is no photographic evidence of Jennifer or I dressed as “old time teachers”! The children had made a real effort, dressed as evacuees they left the school as the Management and Office staff sang “we’ll meet again”. We began at the War Memorial in Cockenzie then left for the Museum at East Fortune.
We were taken into a hanger and the children had to get down on the floor when they heard the air raid siren. They had to lay out equipment as if they were soldiers and then saw many different war planes. We ended the day watching Goodnight Mr Tom and a few tears were shed!






The teachers did look the part as indeed did all the children. Singing “We’ll meet again” as the children left was quite a moving experience as they too looked the part, dressed as evacuees.
