Year 6 enjoyed a history workshop in the school theatre as they were introduced to the Second World War. They were given a brief outline of the main causes and events of the war, which will be studied in detail in their lessons this term.

The children watched DVD clips, designed propaganda posters and role-played being an evacuee. They also had the opportunity to try out genuine WWII respirators, helmets and uniforms, whilst handling equipment and other artefacts - the morse code machine proved very popular.

This was an entertaining and vibrant introduction to this period in history and the children embark upon their studies with enthusiasm and excitement.
