Pupils on the Sports and Active Leisure Diploma and taking GCSE History at Sundorne School had the privilege to visit the Imperial war museum and Old Trafford football stadium in Manchester on Wednesday. It was a fantastic trip enjoyed by everyone who attended.

We left the school at about 9.20 in the morning and arrived at the war museum at about 11.00am, pupils on the Diploma had about half an hour to look around the museum which had some very interesting exhibitions on offer. At about 11.40 the diploma pupils set off from the museum just up the road to Old Trafford where we looked around the museum which was absolutely fantastic, there were so many trophies and bits from the past that were incredible. There were quite a few sad things such as bits about the Munich disaster in 1958.

We were also very lucky to go into the Manchester United changing room where all of the players shirts were, we were told where the manager sits and what happens in there before the game and at half-time. Moreover we went down the corridor where the changing rooms are situated and saw the managers lounge and players lounge which were really good. We also got to go down the tunnel, we split into two lines and actually went down the tunnel after the Public Announcer just like at a real game which was a good realistic experience. The ground looks brilliant and it is so big, we had a very good tour which was so interesting.
Overall, everybody had a fantastic day, Old Trafford is certainly a brilliant venue and we only had to pay £10 for a trip to the museum and a tour around one of the best stadiums in the country. If you are in year 9 and thinking about your options, and you are interested in sport then take the Sports and Active Leisure diploma. It is a great course where you can get 7 GCSE's, a personalised tracksuit and the opportunity to go on amazing trips like this one for a small amount of money.
