BLITZ SCHOOL

Air Raid Warden Workshop details

"Just wanted to say a huge thankyou for today. I loved how hands on and interactive it was, and it brought so much of their learning to life adding a vast amount of knowledge and experience to the topic." - Gill Wainwright, y6 teacher, Wigan

Enforcing the Blackout, dealing with Firebomb Fritz and some WW2 code-breaking!

After the pupils have found out more information about the artefacts it's all go with the Air Raid Warden training with a range of interactive activities related either to the training that real ARP wardens would have received back in the 1940s, plus also other related WW2 topics.

Activities based around the blackout, extinguishing (fake) incendiary bombs (no real fire involved at any time) using a real stirrup pump, ARP first aid, and our NEW electric telegraph Morse code breaking activity ensure the pupils finish the day having not only had a
fufilling experience of what daily life was like during the Blitz, but also with a great deal of knowledge of the topic to take back to their further studies in class.

But that's not all! We also leave behind lesson planning for a WARDEN REPORT writing lesson that can be taught back in class at the teacher's own convenience so that the visit can make a further impact on the pupils' learning.
