Year 5 Lincolnshire Bomber Command

  • March 12, 2025

As part of our history learning this term, Year 5 visited the International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC) in Lincolnshire. This exciting and educational trip helped pupils deepen their understanding of World War II, focusing particularly on the important role Lincolnshire played in the air campaign and the lives of those who served.

During the visit, children:

  • Explored the interactive exhibitions that bring the wartime experience to life.

  • Walked around the Memorial Spire and Walls of Names, paying respect to those who served.

  • Took part in a specially designed education workshop, helping them to learn about rationing, evacuation, and the role of the RAF.

  • Heard real stories from the past through multimedia installations and historical artefacts.

This trip not only supports our history curriculum, but also encourages empathy, reflection, and understanding of the sacrifices made during the war. It promises to be a meaningful and memorable day.
