Stockport-Class 7 & 8

Lesson: History

Class: Dosbarth Pine - Mr Powell Year: 2016 - 2017

Our visit to Stockport Air Raid Shelters

A fabulous time was had yesterday with Class 7 and 8 at Stockport Air Raid Shelters.

It was everything we imagined and more. Such a creative way to bring the topic of WW2 alive for children and adults alike.  We truly experienced what life was like for evacuees and for people living through war time Britain. We spent some time more than 40 foot  underground as the threat of dropping bombs from German planes travelled overhead,  and we prepared to be billeted (it was all very real and a number of the children were most disappointed to find they were going home to Wales at 3pm rather than going off to the Market Square to meet their new war time families ).

No doubt the children will remember the experiences for a long time to come.

Enjoy the photos, more to be posted soon.
