LKS2 were transported back in time to the Second World War. The children entered the church at Wilderspin, dropped off their supplies and were ready to learn about the British home front. Churchill’s Carcroft Cogs demonstrated the British Bulldog spirit on the home front.
The groups were lucky to meet Betty, an ARP warden. She taught the children about the different groups that helped keep Britain safe during the Second World War and the threat of enemy raids, particularly from the air. We then were lucky enough to sort out scrap ready to aid our soldiers on the front line, check out the Anderson Shelter and then see the variety of gas masks. Keep an eye out for the baby gas mask!
In the other group, we had a particularly strict teacher leading us in class, checking on supplies and then protecting us through an enemy bombing. The children were not afraid though and displayed tremendous bravery, as sirens rang, bombs whistled and the air defences boomed.
