Be Ready – Year 5 visit the air raid shelter

To support their understanding of their topic on World War 2, the children in year 5 walked to the air raid shelter in West Bridgford yesterday. It was fitting that this happened on VE day too. The children learnt about what life was life during the war and in particular the Blitz. The children discussed what it would have been like living in a time of war and how cramped and difficult it would have been sharing such a small place with lots of other people. A really interesting way to enrich the curriculum and a great way to bring history to life.
