WW2 Workshop is the most curriculum-led, engaging, authentic and professional workshop available.
About
WW2 Workshop is an interactive workshop whereby children handle a plethora of artefacts, both genuine and reproduced, to create a hands-on learning experience. The collection of WW2 artefacts is the biggest of any WW2 workshop provider. The showstopper is the genuine WW2 Air Raid Siren! Up to 120 children can be accommodated during the day, with all children taking part in activities throughout the entirety of the school day (children will be split into groups for two or three sessions during the day - teachers receive planning and resources to teach highly-engaging sessions whilst the Chief Air Raid Warden teaches another session).
As well as the handling and investigating of some incredible artefacts, the children will be learning about WW2 in-line with the 2014 curriculum. Being a fully qualified and practising teacher, I have ensured that the day meets as many of the curriculum objectives as possible. All learning is fully inclusive and accessible to all children including SEN and EAL children.
The workshop brings WW2 and the Blitz to life, creating a truly memorable learning experience for the children (and teachers).
Reasons to book WW2 Workshop:
All this and more, make the day a truly memorable one, and helps embed the learning far better than any normal history lesson! Boys, in particular, will remember a great amount from the day, and recent feedback has been that their writing has improved considerably as a result of this workshop.

"An absolutely fantastic day. The children enjoyed the day and were enthusiastic about all the activities". Mrs Fyffe, Homles Chapel Primary School.
"Children enjoyed the day. They had the opportunity to learn about WW2 through artefacts and got to experience an air raid which they enjoyed. There were a range of outdoor activities that kept the children engaged. It was a valuable workshop in which children learned a lot about WW2". Y2 Teacher, St Aloysius Infant School.
The children really enjoyed the WW2 workshop. Lovely artefacts. Loved the interactive activity in the afternoon. Everything set up in good time. Good variation of activities". Miss Murray, St Aloysius Infant School.
