History: Trip to The Holborn Library

Our trip to the Holborn Library archives was like stepping into a time machine for our World War II topic! 🕰️ The lovely archivists had prepared five brilliant, themed stations packed with real local history, making WW2 feel very close to home. We got to see original documents and artefacts—things like old photographs, newspaper articles, magazine adverts, recipes and letters written by people who lived right here during the war. Each station showed us how the war affected our street and our school, from seeing maps showing where bombs fell nearby to reading about how our local families coped. It was an amazing, hands-on way to understand that history isn't just in books; it happened right where we live!
