The trip offered a hands-on learning experience as students explored the museum’s impressive collection of aircraft and military vehicles, even having the chance to sit inside some of them. This interactive approach brought their studies of war poetry to life, offering valuable historical context and sparking meaningful connections to their English lessons.
