Our latest WWII Outreach visit was to Mount Hawke Academy on 17 April 2012.
Carol read “Fred’s Story” to an eager Year 3 and showed them “Fred’s” battered war-time suitcase and its contents, including a genuine, and very rusty, tin of condensed milk!
The rest of the outreach session was definitely “hands on” when children tried on WWII helmets, made rubbings of coins of the era and weighed out a weekly ration of bacon,butter and cheese – in Play-Doh!
Always popular with schools as an introduction to or reinforcement of the KS2 history syllabus, this workshop may be booked by phoning the Museum on 01872 553228 or mailing us at info@stagnesmuseum.org.uk
