FORT NELSON TRIP REVIEW!!
Fort Nelson links with World War 2 where you can do all types of activities there. You even get to watch people hold guns! What makes this place special is that you can see canons and the people dress up just like World War 2 Captains.
You get a really good tour of most things there especially in the tunnels. You get to see guns and you can hear and see the air raid siren. It’s really fun there and all the kids love it when the adults are dressed up and role playing.

OUR GOOD TIME AT FORT NELSON
When we arrived at Fort Nelson, we met a home guard and joined the air raid precaution. During one of our activities, we heard a practise air raid siren. In another, we saw a real rifle and then we practised with a wooden rifle. We got to try and name planes to spot if they were friends or enemies. We got to find out what to do when someone was hurt and how to put a fire out in the 1940s. At the end of the day, we got to choose what division we wanted to work for like the Home Guard, Auxiliary Territorial Service or Air Raid Precaution.

Today we went to Fort Nelson (9th November). We explored the jobs that WW2 citizens would do in everyday life. These voluntary jobs were in the ARP, standing for Air Raid Precaution, HOME GUARD and finally, the ATS standing for the Auxiliary Territorial Service. All of these jobs were very important. This was a great opportunity and experience to learn so much about WW2 and it would be so fun and unforgettable. Personally we enjoyed being with our friends and really playing the role of a WW2 volunteer. We also got to go into the tunnels and a projector showed all of the aircraft which we had to guess which one was friend or foe and lots more fun activties.

“The trip to Fort Nelson was spectacular. We got to do lots of activities and got the opportunity to go under the fort into the tunnels”
“There were a lot of things to explore and we found out a lot more about World War Two. I would recommend this place very much.”

At the end of the day when all the points were added up, it was very close with only 1 point between most teams.
However, the winning squadron was FOX SQUADRON from 5SC.
A great day was had by everyone!!
