World War 1
World War 1 affected nearly everyone in Britain. Men and boys were sent off to fight, while around two million women took over jobs previously done by men. In this World War 1 KS1 and KS2 workshop, pupils will find out what it would have been like to live in Britain during this turbulent time. From the war’s leading figures to soldiers in the trenches, busy farmers and nurses to the children at home, let’s uncover the human stories within this key period of history.
What schools say
“The WWI workshops are very cleverly put together and you did a great job of bringing it to life. Lots of positive comments from everyone showed what a good experience we had. The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and it enhanced the learning that is happening in the classroom perfectly. The opportunity for parents and other year groups to share in the learning was a great bonus. Your Director was energetic and enthusiastic throughout the day and engaged even the quietest most reluctant children well.”
