Event Summary
Join us at Discovery Museum to investigate and explore what local Home Front life was like during World War II.
Pupils will take part in a carousel of three hour long workshops, throughout the day, to build their knowledge and understanding of the impact of World War II on the local area and the people who lived here.
They will discover what life was like for evacuated children and their families in World War II. Learn about why this area was targeted by German bombers and investigate how the government tried to protect the people of the North East.
Activities will include:
- Object Handling,
- Archival material,
- Dramatic re-enactments,
- Sensory Stories,
- A practical rationing challenge,
- and much more!
