WW2

Year Six were visited by ARPete to consolidate their World War Two learning with an eco-friendly twist.

The children looked at a unique concept of environmental issues delivered through a Second World War home front input. ARPete taught the importance for us to “switch that light out” and how we should still be "digging for victory".

The class took part in a giant board game full of consequences for actions and discovered what day-to-day life was like during the war. ARPete had the children switching off the classroom lights at regular intervals, pulling on their cut out gas masks and dressing up as evacuees. They were even introduced to squander bug, the character portrayed as Hitler’s friend that encouraged people to be wasteful.
