Pupils Travel Back in Time

Pupils from Year 6 became evacuees for the day in a role play trip to learn more about the Second World War. Dressed in 1940s outfits, the children were evacuated to Swindon’s Steam Museum to experience life during the Blitz. They learnt about war-time artefacts and Air Raid Wardens and spent time in an air raid shelter, singing songs in true war-time style! the children experienced ‘being evacuated,’ and while sitting in an old railway carriage, heard stories about 1940s children. The children had great fun, but also realised how difficult it must have been for young evacuees who were sent away from their families during World War 11.
