Evacuee Day
It is 1942. Britain is at War. The children are received at Holdenby Evacuee Centre. A selection of characters will then teach them a variety of hands on activities that will help them become more useful evacuees:
- Food Rationing - Learn about the weekly rations and helping in the kitchen preparing seasonal wartime food.
- Make-Do-and-Mend - Learn how to repair, reuse and re-purpose clothing
- Air Raid Precautions - Learn about Air Raid shelters, Gas Masks and how to keep safe
After lunch there is a sing-along to cheer everyone up before the children go to their host families.
This project covers various parts of the National Curriculum KS1 and KS2
