The London Archives’ What was it like living in London during the Second World War? Workshop
Key Info
It’s time for your class to put on their ‘history detective’ hats!
In this interactive session, students will investigate the different initiatives launched by the British Government to protect its civilians during the war and decide which one they think was the most effective at keeping Londoners safe. Students will be taking on a number of investigations and challenges as a whole class and in small groups, using original archival material to find out more about evacuation, rationing, air-raid shelters and gas masks.
About The London Archives
Following an exciting redevelopment of their learning programme, The London Archives are thrilled to introduce their new range of engaging and in-depth learning sessions for primary and secondary school students.
Each session supports the history curriculum at KS1 to KS4 showcasing their unique collection of historical documents and providing structured and well-paced activities designed to develop history enquiry skills, build confidence working with primary sources and support learning back in the classroom.
Led by experienced history facilitators, their free two-hour sessions allow students to get inspired by London’s past!
A lunch space is available to use for 30 minutes after morning workshops. Schools coming for afternoon workshops are asked to eat before arriving.
