What was life like for children in the second world war and the adults that they lived with? To have to cope not only with the rationing and evacuee programmes, but also the nightly stresses of the blitz that had such a harrowing effect on everyone's lives?
A perfect addition to your creative curriculum ww2 topic, now your pupils can gain some idea of how this must have felt with one of our simulated Air Raid Warden training workshops, delivered in the comfort of your own school and planned from the ground up with two main aims in mind, one, to bring your second world war topic to life in a totally new way, and two, to teach towards and to expand upon the topic objectives, so that your pupils will learn above and beyond all your expectations.
Delivered and planned by a QTS teacher, and fully artefact-based, the “trainees” experience a series of activities designed to match the key duties of an Air Raid Warden’s role. These include supervising evacuation to an air raid shelter during the blitz, putting out pretend 'fires' with a genuine stirrup pump, through to enforcing the strict laws surrounding the second world war blackout.
With over 40 genuine second world war artefacts for the pupils to use and investigate plus many more accurate reproduction items, the children perform their own historical enquiry to come up with their own ideas about what life would have been like in the Blitz from both sides of the evacuee story.
In addition, we will also send you a printable exclusive “Junior Air Raid Warden” training certificate to celebrate the learning that they have achieved.
