Trip to the Forester Gallery

Wednesday 13th April we packed up and left school at 9am to walk down to the Forester Gallery. There we were met by Liz King from the Forester Gallery and Chloe from the Oamaru Museum. Chloe brought a selection of WW1 items where we learnt about how the soldiers used them, felt how heavy some of the equipment was and even saw a celebration dress which would have been worn by a women back home in the colours of the France flag. We will do writing pieces about our experiences and what we learnt, have a look at some of the items which were discussed with us...
