Class 5 are studying WW2 this term. You may have heard about some of the things we have been finding out about, and the activities we have been taking part in. Over the weeks we have been gathering various items from war time. Class 3 saw some of the items and were so interested, they asked to come and have a look. So………………Class 5 decided to make it really fun for them! We had 4 activities organised for Class 3 to take part in. 1. Display Cabinets – Mintlaw Museum provided Class 5 with 2 large display cabinets. One of our groups acted as tour guides and showed the items in the Cabinets and spoke to Class 3 about a selected few. They then were able to complete their own ‘artefact’ sheet on their favourite item. 2. Evacuation! As Class 5 enjoyed their mock Evacuation so much, they decided to let Class 3 experience some of the things they did. So they got to make their own evacuee labels, and then Class 5 helped them to think about and choose some items they would take with them if they were to be evacuated. 3. Class 5 have set up their own mini display cabinet in their classroom, so they wanted to share the items they have gathered with Class 3. The children got to try on some of the items, and were able to have a turn on an authentic air raid siren – This was a great favourite! Class 3 had a great time learning about the things Class 5 have been up to, and seeing all the interesting war time items. Class 5 also had a great time preparing the activities and getting to work with other children in the school, and pass on some of the things they had been learning.
