D-Day

Today we went to the 360-degree cinema to see a film about D Day itself, which was incredibly moving.

We visited the German bunkers and batteries, which for their age were in exceedingly good condition even though one of them had had a nasty beating. A couple of us uncovered a secret living quarter underground.

We have now visited three different cemeteries. Each had their own layout. The German cemetery grouped crosses in fives. The British and Commonwealth cemetery had tombstones. There we tried to find our ancestors in the graves. For our last activity, we visited the American cemetery, which was stunning with marble crosses and stars.

We have thoroughly enjoyed this trip thanks to all the following teachers: Mr Dean, Mr Stein and Mrs Gallegillo.
